Pretty much standard S3 version. Is there really any benefit in the Forge metal recirculating versions and was told you should not vent to atmosphere if still running the motronic ECU

Forge 007 for me - 4 years and no issues - only thing to mention is that it's connected with the high pressure acting radially on the piston rather than axially. The spring is not the only thing that applies the presure to the valve - the boost from the inlet is applied to the top of the piston, thus equalising the pressure over the top and bottom, give or take a PSI. The same connection also applies a vacuum to the valve when on over-run / idle and this, combined with the excess boost, causes the valve to open. The spring pretty mch makes up the difference and controls opening on idle.
Don't vent to atmosphere if you're keeping the stock MAF location but if it's going on the pressure side, then vent away.Cheers'en, AndyC

One check you can do is to electrically disconnect the N75 (leave all the hoses alone!!!) and then do a WOT run. Stock boost is 0.4 bar, with a little tolerance on that value for the boost gauge. Anything way over 0.5 bar and it's an uprated spring.
Stock spring is approx. 3N/mm spring rate and about 80m long. Anything loads longer or that looks like it should be on a mountain bike and it's an aftermarket one.Cheers'en, AndyC

The 710N valves work just fine at 500hp as well.
No air going backwards through the MAF etc.
BTDT and not 1 time.Comment
