please tell me about 2nd gen DSM BOVs.
 

They're plastic right? I've heard from some they suck... but what does that mean.
I've read that they hold stock boost levels fine (less than 15psi or so) and only tend to leak when you run high boost (high DSM boost like 20psi +).
Any comments?
I still don't know a lot about BOVs, but are these vacuum actuated from the intake mani.? Also, there's no problem with venting this to the atmosphere right? (Just don't recirculate the vented charge?)

Re:please tell me about 1st gen DSM BOVs.
 

1g DSM BOV -> Good
2g DSM BOV -> Not so good b/c they are plastic BOSCH POS!

that about sums it up. 1g DSM BOV can be crushed to be held higher levels of boost...

Otherwise do a quick search for info on BOV... You'll find more info on it...

Searching seemed to only bring up people talking about how great 1st gen BOVs are. Since I'm planning on less than 10 psi initially, I might try a 2nd gen cause I can pick one up for super cheap and I can't seem to find an unmolested 1st gen for less than $50-$60.

Re:please tell me about 2nd gen DSM BOVs.
 

if you havent found 1g DSM BOV for less than $60 then you havent looked hard enough!

They start leaking boost big time after 14psi. :-\ Sixty for a 1g bov! Look around thats about 30 dollars too much for it , My two cents.

Re:please tell me about 2nd gen DSM BOVs.
 

they start leakjing after 14, the 2g was intedned for high boost, but in this case the plastic bov wouldnt cut it. if you want a good bov get a 1g crushed, for those of u who hasnt heard of crushing it simple, they crush the top of the bov to make higher spring rated, thus allowing greater boost response and more boost, they usualy go for 60 on this great site
