Default ebay greddy type-s bov?

has anybody had any experience with the ebay knock-off greddy type-s bov. i know that a lot of the knock-off stuff on ebay is crap, but i was thinkin about givin this a try. i have a genuine rs, but kind of wish i would have went for the type-s when i had the chance. thanks in advance

You get what you pay for, and i am guessing it will sound nothing like a normal Greddy bov

i guess the only noise you will first n last hear it make will b a bang when it blows up when u get off the gas pedal

i heard the piston/valve breaks on them but you never know u might get one that wont give u that problem.

WTF? Ebay bov are fine, they work and sound the same as the real thing. I have the Greddy type rs style, my boy with a sr20det have the Greddy type s and they both work the way they are suppose to. Ebay item aint junk if you know wtf you are buying

i posted this on superhonda also, and somebody said that i can put a standard spring in and it will act like the type-s. will it just take away the flutter sound, or actually make it sound like the type-s too? also where could i get a standard spring for the rs. i looked on greddy.com and the only springs they have are for the type-r.

i emailed a seller on ebay he told me the only difference between the real and fake bov is the real one has a metal piston and the fake has a plastic piston

if your buying a replica blow off valve, you might as well get a replica of a GOOD blow off valve LOL. If your into the GReddy, get the RS knock off.

How do you like the RS. I just got one and am waiting to complete my turbo kit. Is it loud enough? How much boost are you running?

I chose the RS b/c the type-s is much too high pitched and loud. I want the whoosh baby!

i like the rs with partial boost and the fluttering. but with WOT its not a clean woosh and kind of gets on my nerves. hard to explain what it sounds like. i just like a clean rush of air. volume doesn't matter to me. the rs is pretty quiet though
