ok, my gf just got some money, and she wants a diverter valve. I did a search, but didn't find too much info. I am looking into Forge. Now the question is what's the difference between piston and diaphragm? Which one holds better and works better? Also besides AEM intake what other brand is good? Also, she's looking to get a chip for her car, any suggestion on which chip she should get?

I personally like the piston. Piston is usually made of full metal, vs diaphram is made of rubber.
You'd have to see the DV itself to see the difference. But just picture a rubber diaphram
Here's a diaphram DV:

AWE Tuning carries Bailey valves.
We're their newest dealer, here in SoCal, and should have our stock in on these valves next week!

Stratmosphere Hyperboost all the way! I love mine, and I haven't heard any other complaints.
