or you could go to an autoparts story and pick up some copper fittings, 2 inlet/outlets, one cylinder that they will screw into, and a spring and ball bearing.
put them all together in the right order and you got yerself a check valve that you can take apart and clean very easily.

i went this route after taking my check valves back to zellers every week saying they were defective, when they were just gummed up from my vacuum system.(they are suppost to be used for aquariums but i took them back smelling like gas and oil) hhahahaha

but this is how it should look

<= === =>
inlet then [ball bearing then spring] then outlet
items in bracket are inside the cylinder.

a check valve hides boost from your car and you won't get a check engine light.

driving your car with the check engine light on is light running windows in safe mode... my car limps pretty bad once the check engine light comes on
