this came with an inter cooler i bought on ebay...
it was sold to me as a greddy type-r bov...
but when i looked closer to the cap it had a worn HKS decal

greddy type-r pictured and it looks the same...maybe a bit bigger head....

if it looks like that then it is a type r. hks never made a style like that.

digitalcongo

so you think someone just stuck an hks sticker on it or something...?
there is no labeling on the top at all...just the hks sticker...
it is fairly worn and the outlet was cut at 45° to fit whatever custom app he was working on...

BOOSTEd2

yeah i believe it may be just a sticker that was stuck on there.

x2 that is no HKS.

I like HKS for their low profile design and that is no low profile.

That thing looks heavy BTW.

Its a greddy im positive. My buddy came across one a couple months back. I wouldnt run it unless your planning on track only, its designed for race and doesnt purge like a normal bov. Will probably cause bad compressor surge.

Sorry must have wrote it funny, a bov with a super stiff spring will cause compressor surge if your just driving around town partial throttle not hitting much boost. I meant to say that this bov is designed for racing not so much daily use.

digitalcongo

i'm definately after a bov for good street use...
i remember seeing the synapse bov or whatever...
i like that...

anyone know what i could expect to fetch for this bov...?
keep in mind the outlet is slash cut
i'll probably just get a bunch of lowballers saying "it aint worth **** with that chopped ****"

I looked into the synapse and i was pretty impressed. Never did get a response from them as to where to buy one, so im sticking to my greddy type rs.

digitalcongo

sold my rs
