Noticed mine was not opening as readily, as above quick squirt of the old wonder spray did the trick.

I take it these are aftermarket items.

Says it all in my opinion.

Alot of "performance" branded replacement parts always seem to be inferior to the original OE items when it comes to quality and durabilty - despite the expense

I've got one of them hybrid valves that dumps some of the air back into the inlet, or so I am led to believe. I must admit I do like the sound, just adds to the turbo soundtrack for me. However, had it no already been on the car I dont think I would have forked out for one,
