Well thought id post my thoughts on these.
Id been running a 007p for around 18months to 2 years.
Decent valve etc, never really liked how you had to use a big pair of grips to loosen/tighten the head though (mine after a sold it looked like a staffy had been chewing on it), also mine always needed servicing, only used to last 2000 miles or so then it'd start sticking, even with high temp grease and using a DV relocation kit.
008.
I've been running it now for about 2 month.
Very nice design, looks nice in gun metal. Very easy to dismantle, 3 Allen screws on the top then it tops off, seems to seal better as well.
Now the comparison.
There's nothing in it, luckily i upgrading to the 008 from the 007p only cost me tenner as i sold my old one so i lost nothing.
There's no difference between response, throttle, anything. The only difference i would say is the noise, the 008 sounds slightly better, but for the price its no way worth it.
So have said the 008 only needs a green spring where as on the same application the 007p would need a yellow but that's ****e, the 008 still needs a yellow, I know as I've tried both and the car didn't like the green in the 008.
So all in all, if you haven't got a uprated DV then id say buy the 008, nicer design and better looking but if you buying it as a upgrade from the 007p don't bother.
Sorry for rambling but hope this helps future buyers
