That shore is pertty!
Don't quote me on this, but an answer to an earlier question, you could have a plate made that attaches to the BOV and the by-pass. Take the By-pass off, and do either a graphite rub, or wax-paper to get the impression, order a bov, do the same thing and then take it to a machine shop. $.02

Nope, not what I'm looking for. don't want to change anything with air box or anything like that. I'm talking literally take the internal parts right out of the by-pass valve. This should leave an open hole in the side of the turbo apparatus. There are three holes now there (screw holes) from the by-pass cover plate. Now, remove all internal parts to by-pass valve and bolt on a new after market BOV right there and connect to CURRENT vacuum hose. Our current by-pass valve really seems to suck balls. Just want to get rid of without emptying the wallet.

I say shop around to find someone making one that fits...our cars are not the only one running this OEM turbo. But, the main issue is capacity of attached BOVs....the design is the limitation.
Nope....I say shop around for that reason
From what I heard/know....it was due to CA emissions they were trying to wrestle with the tune.
Do you know for sure?
RemeMber, the Cobalt couldn't have the GM stage 1 for a while because of different intake and turbo tubing. Same engine, same power, and a lot more 'sames';however, that car could not get the stage 1 for almost a year after us.

The OP made no mention of a defective BOV. He was simply wondering if an aftermarket valve would offer any performance improvement over what I assumed to be a properly functioning stock valve. The answer is still no. Whether the stock valve is reliable is a different issue entirely and should be taken up in a different thread.

umm guys calm down. I was more looking to see if the factory one could be modded. gcsd...that looks fantastic, I just don't have the $$$ right now, I wasn't really looking for anything more then the sound. Lets keep this positive! :)
