i'm probably going to use a greddy rs but if worse comes to worse and i have to cheap out somewhere is this a ok place to do it with a greddy replica or something?

 

head to your local junk yards and grab u up a DSM BOV for a cheap alternative

 

DSM's are good and the ebay knock offs work great i have used and installed almost all the ones they offer.I run the knock off 50mm's on any of my own turbo setups and they work great

 

my friends difram (SP) on his knock off greaddy bov ripped so at peak boost it would open but other then that one there good as far as i know.

 

ya i already have a dsm bov but the flange on my charge pipes is greddy so i'm thinkin about gettin a knockoff greddy rs cause cash is starting to run low

 

I have a greddy knockoff and it works fine and sounds just like a real greddy. I had to cut the spring to make it work, but it works perfectly now.

 

how much are you guys payin for the greddy knockoffs? i see some for 25 bucks and then i see them all the way up to 100 bucks... and they all look exactly the same

 

My HKS Knock off blew apart after 2 days @ 15psi.

GARBAGE! So Ne.

i didnt have to remove or cut the spring in my knock off greddy type rs. Sounds good too. So i would say go for it!

dumb question but, what is a dsm

 

diamond star motors aka turbo eclipse eagle talon pymouth laser bov

 

On my knock off type s I didn't have to cut or remove the springs either, and also it did fine under 22psi! You got your good ones, and bad ones.

 

23 psi on a knock off RS here. over and year and still going strong.

 

On my Rs knock off I was still geting some surge after adjusting it so I took out the smaller spring and it worked fine.Your hit or miss on them working out of the box fine without removing or changing the spring but either way it works.Got mine for 35 or something like that from donald on hmt when they were a lower price.

 

Yeah mine has been working fine its only 25 bucks so fuc in go for it.

 

what you guys think about the tial knock offs

 

Ive have seen some knockoffs that were better quality than the originals namely turboxs

 

Im currently using a OBX 50mm blow off on my latest turbo setup and its actually a pretty nice quality piece and works perfect.Comes with a couple weld on flanges for steel and alum. etc.It is not nearly as cheap as alot of knock offs but still considerably less then Tial.

how much did you pay for it

 

I think it was $125ish.Like i said it was well packaged,included all hardware,extra flages&o rings etc.Overall it seams to be a fairly nice piece not as good as a real Tial im sure but respectable.

 

Interesting,

So instead of buying a particular part from the original manufacturer who spent time and money on research and development to bring the product to market. you would rather purchase a product from a company that copied the original by passed all the R&D and sold it for less and used lower quality materials and also in many cases doesnt even work correctly unless modified.

Interesting mentality.

This explains why they have the damaged merchandise section in the super market. i always wondered who bought that stuff.

some people cant afford $200+ BOVs and wastegates when there whole setup is only worth 500 to begin with. a kid in highschool might not be able to afford the real thing and doesnt have too high of goals so cheap knockoffs are good in that case.

bottom line is these companies arent losing any business because the people who are buying the knockoffs wouldnt have bought the name brand part in the first place because they couldnt afford it.
