Looks like the exact same diaphragm cap that comes on the 1G DSM, which is a great junkyard BOV. I was holding one up to the picture on the screen, identical in proportion.

The small dent doesn't look like anything from what I can see. People actually slip the DSM units into a vise and crush the whole top (dsm.org has writeups) to increase the spring tension of the BOV for higher boost apps.

I suspect turboDA6 had a defective unit, or poor vacuum supply to the BOV. If the spring tension of the unit is low, as per a 6 psi *automatic* turbo car, I can see where it would get blown open if you had a few psi pressure drop in the charge pipe. At that point, crushing it should take care of that problem...

it escapes back towards the turbo inlet. self recirculating... im telling u i tried using that bov. its designed kinda like the 1g bov but its spring is so soft it can't hold boost for ---- =x that piece of ---- would open under boost then flutter when i let off like it was clapping open/close open/close... if u dont listen u will regret how ur boost feels. u get 4-6 psi tops then it opens. n stays open acting like a hole in ur ic piping. feels gay n sounds worse.
