Dejontool 1G BOV "Leak Stop Kit"

Anyone know anything about the "leak stop kit" for the 1G BOV from Dejontool? Looks pretty cool and they have test results on their website. I've got a leaky 1G valve so this is very appealing. Looks like the best of all worlds:

Scroll about 2/3 of the way down: Leak Stop Kit

And here are the Test results

Comments?

Interesting. It's basically allowing the boost pressure to help seal the BOV like I believe other aftermarket valves do. If you want to run higher boost pressures and keep the 1g BOV then I guess it's the answer.

This made me think of 2 things though. First, is there no other valve that would hold pressure and also recirculate? I'm looking at this from the perspective of an evo owner that would buy the 1g and the kit together. I guess it is still probably cheaper than any other option...

Second, looking at the test results it occured to me that the 1g BOV is probably specifically designed to *NOT* hold boost past about 22 psi as a saftety feature. After all this was an OEM part, intended to keep the customer safe from themselves. In that case, it's probably ideal for those evo owners (like me) that never run race gas and turn up the boost.
