Default Anyone running a Greddy REPLICA blowoff valve?

I currently have a Greddy Type-S blowoff valve on my greddy kit, which I'm selling soon. I will need to buy a new blow-off valve most likely, and I was looking at picking one of these up:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

I know it's not the real deal, but how hard is it to replicate something so simple in its function?

I'm not asking for people's opinion of this product; I simply want to hear testimonials from people as to whether it works well or not.

don't waste your money. i was going to pick one up and the difference between the two is enormous. The Greddy type rs was hella better in design and actually the knockoff one was cheap, not a clean flange, the valve was plastic. If you don't mind blowing 60 bucks on something that might fail prematurely you're better off saving and buying the real deal. I'm okay w/ the one I picked up although I would have preferred the HKS SSQ.

Good luck!

I had a greddy, sold it to a dumbass kid that paid 200 for it, read good about the greddy knock offs, so I bought one. It was the biggest waste of 55 bucks. They suck dude. Just keep yours. Atleast mine sucked

Jesus, there was literally a thread on this the other day. They work fine. I have one that I will be running on my next setup and know several people who have used them sucessfully, and several other people on here will tell you that they use them without fail.

No they just make posts on the internet about how it was broken and didnt work.It is much easier then pulling your head out of your *** and actaully doing something.
