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...
