I'm wondering if anyone on here has tried using the knockoff Greddy Type S Blow off vavles (not hating on anyone). I'm wondering if they have any boost holding problems, if they're identical in performance to the real type S? and does it also have that metallic *ping sound when it blows off like the real deal?

 

I've heard they were the same thing. Actually, he was using a knock off greddy type rs from ebay. It worked great for him. And costs 1/2 the price.

 

theyre exactly the same other than the actual valve itself that opens and closes is some sort of plastic

I know, I saw those ones. But the bling-bling full polished aluminum one (no purple/blue/red BS) is $60 shipped.

dave you cheap bastard!

i have heard both sides from these BOVs, i have heard anything above 15psi or so causes them to leak internally.

i would like to buy one for ***** and giggles just to see tho, heck for 40 bux, can you really go wrong?

 

Yeah, I think i'm going to try it out also. Can't hurt. I don't plan on boosting over 15psi anyway.

I was thinking of buying the fake greddy rs just to see how it works. Damn their cheap if it works thats great if its a POS then u only lost $40. Good luck with it and keep us posted.

LOL its the only thing I went cheap on only because I figured if it didnt work who cares...I'll buy a real one.

I plan to test it on the dyno

 

hummm. i might have to try out the replica type s, because nobody wants to trade my greddy type rs for a real type s.

 

hows the sound though? i'm gonna boost less than 10 psi, so mechanically i dont think it'll matter... but the sound... i like the type S. anyone got a sound clip?


you're all cheap batards like meeee haha

 

i cant believe i want to downgrade from a greddy type rs to a fake type s. oh well. i heard the sound is exactly the same.

 

sound isnt anywhere near the same. I have owned both the type-s is more of a whistle while the type-rs sounds like a tial or a toned down RFL...

 

I think he means the sound difference between the real and fake type s.....

I'll let u know this weekend when i install everything

 

ahh gotcha

 

i have the fake type s and it isnt loud at all and it sounds nothing like the one on ebay...there for im just gonna buy the real one.

 

huh? isnt the fake one the one on ebay?

anyways, so far everyone says that the real and fake type-s sound the same?

 

i have the chrome type-s, bought from ebay. it sounds nowhere near the same sound..

 

lol that sucks

 

They are 99% the same, and btw both have a plastic type valve. They are even the same weight.

(Real Greddy on Right)

 

guess it depends on which ebay store u buy it from lol

 

that thing looks like its from the same cast, jsut never got the greddy lable stampled on it

 

i used to have a real type s also, couldnt remember but just assumed the valve was metal. good pics
