People have been using these for a while now with good results (DaleClark also sells them).

The RC car check valves have a VERY small nipple size, and fit is lousy. Really wish they would work, since you can get all-metal versions, which is WAY cool.

I've got another batch of check valves coming at the end of the month, and the next set has slightly larger hose barbs than before - should make for a VERY tight fit.

BTW, I don't resell the US Plastics valves, I have a different supplier.

Dales valves and the stock valves have an internal diaphragm, which it seems is better for stopping airflow. The valves you're looking at are ball-spring check valves - which may leak too much, but I don't know.

Didn't you say you found check valves locally? Did they fit?

No they dont fit because the check valves That I found from a shop work on 0,4psi and up so it can not work.
I go to mazda dealer and I have to pay 28euro for one green white body and 32 for green and black body.
I am thinking to buy only 2 this one with green and black body who affect the turbo and wait for other when the daleclark have stock
