Spyder Compact 2000, 4 stage expansion chamber, DYE ultralight barrel, Shocktech side-cocking delrin bolt, big drop forward, TASO turbo valve
Strengths:
More air flow.
The bottom, where the screw fits in, is milled down insanely. I'm almost suspicious that it might be harmful to proformance, but if you want that extra 1/8 ounce of weight taken off, this is your ticket. ;)
Weaknesses:
Poor construction quality. Metal shavings and burrs inside of it. When the valve steam rubs against the side of the valve it makes a sound reminiscent of nails across the board, I soppose it needs to be worn in though. Seems pretty fragile with how much it is milled and I'm suspicious that the unneccesary milling might actually hurt air flow.
Conclusion:
I bought this valve as a prelude to getting a 45cu/4500psi HPA tank and regulator. Decent upgrade if you want more airflow going through your gun. I would give it a better rating if TASO made it of better quality.
Rating:
6 out of 10

Spyder Sport; Carbon Fiber Barrel, Vigilante Regulator, Bob Long Cyclone II Bolt, Turbo Valve, 12V Revie, PMI Pure Energy 68ci/300psi, Big Drop Forward
Strengths:
Allows more air flow/capacity, OBVIOUSLY
Weaknesses:
The pin that comes with the valve, for reasons unknown, causes a leak between the cup seal and valve. Maybe it's just mine?
Conclusion:
The stock pin works fine with the valve, but does not allow as much air flow.
