the valves are all the same and you will get the same performance out of all of them. if you do decide to run co2 on a mag there is a proper way to set it up, but i have no clue on how to do that. i have heard that it costs more to get a proper co2 setup then it does to get a small nitrogen system though. again i am not sure of the proper way to use co2 on a mag or if it cost more or less to get a proper co2 setup. i hope this has helped you a little bit though.

The proper Setup(Antisyphon CO2 tank, Palmer's stabilizer) costs more than a pretty decent N2 system...

:confused:
20oz Co2 bottle = around $25
anti syphon tube = around $10
on/off valve = around $20
Palmer stabiliser = around $75

total = around $130



screw in preset N2 system (as they are the cheapest) around $200 so not even close...a least a case of paint difference in the prices ;)

I ran my mag off co2 and all I had was anti-siphon and an old expansion chamber. It worked fine and was much cheaper than my nitro tank.


Also keep in mind you can get a steel nitrogen tank for around 70 bucks new. These things are wicked heavy but you will be running N2 instead of c02
