Looking for a cheap BOV for my budget setup.

I heard about the knockoff blovs being just as good and sounding good, but dont know what ebay seller has them for cheapest. Tihs seller seems to have the cheapest ones.

Curious of there function of sound

Thanks

 

i bought a greddy rs and didnt even blow off at all until i cut the spring then it started to sound good

 

I heard from people that use the knock-off bov that you'll need to take that second spring out. Not sure what they mean by this. I think the best knock-off bov is the ssauto chrome RFL bov, cause I have one and it work great. My cousin brought a rfl from a different seller and it wouldn't open at all. The valve was stuck shut.

 

I need a greddy style

 

I had a greddy rs style bov, paid 60 buck for that awhile ago. It started to leak and my idle surge, finally i decided to take it apart and the gasket is cracked.

I then decided to buy another ebay bov, this time a greddy type s style. So far i open it up and put the spring that was in my RS into the S but it still doesnt blow off. SO my next step is to cut the spring i guess

 

had one a while back and it wouldnt open. i took it apart anf found that the only major difference between the real vs. fake type s was the diaphram. the fake used a crappy brittle o-ring

 

don't be a cheap ***. you get what you pay for.
i seriously doubt any actual greddy bov requires you to cut a damn spring before it'll work decently

 

i cut my spring. big deal took 2 seconds. been using it for over 2 years.

 

And it sounds perfect? Like the real deal?

You realize you just said you'd rather spend $120 extra rather than spend 20 minutes and cut a spring? You realize this is basically saying your time is worth more than $360 an hour as thats how much you would have to make for this to be not worth your time.

 

i rock the ebay type s, and i got it for 11 dollars. I cracked it open and took out one of the 2 springs (the big stiff one) and the ****** works great and sounds awesome. You can't beat that **** for 11 dollars

 

How do you get one for $11?

Most companies ask $5-10 for the unit, then $30 for shipping

i was saying i would never purchase some cheap, pos, knock off part.
don't get butt hurt b/c i knocked your cheap bov either, i jsut choose quality parts. on my current setup i run an hks ssqv and on the new setup, tial 50mm. and ya know what? no issueswith the ssqv and i'm sure there won't be any issues with the tial either.
reliability, power, money-pick 2 b/c you won't have the third

 

all the knnock off bov are build in china and they look just like the real thing but i have had many that leaked as soon as the turbo spools. good luck

I won this one. Looks pretty damn good

 

Good luck with it. I think it's one of those hit or miss kinda things. Hope it work out good for you.

 

I have a Type S style one that I'll be using on my setup. Excuse me if its not cool that I would rather take a few seconds to cut the spring and save a **** load of money.

Removing the inner spring relieves some tension and should stop the nasty compressor surge. Unless your running high boost you wont blow off a greddy bov, authentic or not. Both use an inner and outer diameter spring. I also had to do this to my authentic Greddy type RS.

how am i ***** hurt? b/c i think running cheap knock off parts is dumb? you guys are a bunch of ******* ricers. let me guess, an ssac mani works just as good as full race manifold too?

i love how defensive people get about their cheap chinese parts, it's cute

 

lol honestly you are one angry person for knocking on a product that has worked great for many people. You really do sound ***** hurt that either you are spending a lot or your spent a lot and your car is still slow.

And no I didnt use any knock-offs, you just sound like A tool when you come in here trying to act like you are better than everyone else. Do everyone a favor and go stick your small dick in your authentic bov
