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 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 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
