Yeah, most auto parts stores carry one way check valves. Get 3 or 3 and run some vacuum t's, connect them together and run the check valve off the ends in series, then plug it into the manifold and plug the map sensor on top. Does the same thing.

no, that isn't how they work, the holes are so small, they just don't allow the map sensor to see anything above atmosphere

If you're in N.America, then just contact Dezod to have him sent you missing link with next day delivery.
Missing link is far reliable to "Chek valve" thing.

^Not true. I ran the check valves for months. Never had any issues with them whatsoever.....

I was going to have check valves too, but ended up with ML.
For me it has less connections and lesser chance for a potentioal leak.

Bottom line, whichever is easier for you - go for it.

This is a very good product.
On the paper it looks better than missing link.

I think your problem with ML was that you are running too much boost for ML to operate properly.

It worked great at 6psi on my little t25, but at 9psi it couldnt clear preassure fast enough without me modifying it a little bit.
