Default blow off valve

i seen a video with a duramax that had a blow off valve and then i was told that they dont make them for diesel trucks. i like the sound and was wondering if that is something i can put on my truck and if it does anything to the engine performance wise. thank you

i know they make em for cummins so im sure they probably make em for the DMAX, im not sure if it does anything for performance but ive heard they help with your turbo life especially if your running a big turbo

Im not really sure unless you have a turbo surging (burping) problem, but that is all up to you
