Does anyone know a website or place where I can get a 2nd generation rx7 brake booster check valve?

Well there was a discussion on here a while back about it and it was said that the one off the 2nd gen rx-7 was the best one to use for the turbo v6 set up. They said the universal one didn't do something that the rx-7 one does and it can handle more than the stock mx-3 one. So I am trying to find one.

i installed a 1 way check valve from a boat shop that is good for 200psi and i think made of brass

less than $20

I have a Millenia brake booster hose on mine. It's been boosted for well over a year and I'm having no problems with it. Regularly running 12psi, it's dyno'd at 18psi with no problems.

I just used the stock valve.

I switched to a millenia one a long time ago when I put on the millenia IM. I think the stock K8 one would probably work too.

UNless you changed the original hose that goes from the mani to the Brakebooster then it should have a stock valve in there already. Thats what i use, a lot of people opt for a stronger one.

using the stock valve will cause high boost to blow past the brake booster and in my case it would blow into the passenger compartment

Im not using a valve... only thing is that my brake resevoir empties.. but where to? o.0 the manifold? i cant find any leaks inside the car.
