Default E-gay blowoff valves?

One like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

Work the same? Anyone have experience? Or should I just spend the extra money and get a real one?

TIA.

I just put the same bov on my b16 delsol ,and for the price you cant come close, sounds really really good, i wouldnt recomend over 1bar of boost,the valve inside is plastic, but im running 8psi for about aweek now,and got atleast 200 hard boosted miles and is working perfect

i have a knockoff rfl on my car... one of the first turbo parts I bought 3 years ago and still works fine. Never had a problem with it. prolly going to upgrade in the near future though to a Tial for piece of mind.

I ran the knock off tial till i bought my buddys real one... it worked GREAT, scared old ladies and ****... niice crisp LOUD sound to it at 10 psi SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE TIAL, and its 50mm, so its very efficient. ....15 pounds coming in two weeks, cant wait to hear it then.

Id go witth the knock off tial.

Moral of the story is that its hard to expletive a blow off valve up.... I wouldnt buy a knock off wastregate or anything, but my experience with the fake tial BOV was a positive one

im going to be the first one to say bad things about my knockoff greddy type s off ebay. I had a real greddy s and a kid offered me 200 and i figured id buy a knockoff on ebay for 50. Well i was running 9psi on it for a while, but now it wont let me run over 6. It leaks, and is just garbage. Not saying not to buy one, maybe its just my luck. I rarely hear bad about them, but good luck man

Well Do u want a blow off valve for the " Sweet Sound it makes"

Or Do You want it for a performance purpose?

For the noise.. get the ebay one

If you want a full recirculation BOV then get somthing that costs more
