Default Fake vs. Real Greddy type s bov

What is the difference in a real greddy type s bov and a fake one? Im finding it hard to find this info because some people are saying the casting changed over the years. I need to know because I bought the bov off one of my good friends that had it on his sti and the person I sold it to is claiming its fake. I'm just having a very hard time believing that the person who sold it to me would buy ANYTHING fake int he first place. Thanks in advance

Problem solved, I got ahold of my buddy that I initially bought it off and found out its actually an ngr type s which if I'm correct is actally better correct? Better diaphram... Think 80 buck is a fair price for one thats barely used?

The NGR is not necessarily "better" than the original but is definitely a much better and well-thought out reproduction of the great Type S. If you can get it, do so... As to whether or not it is a fair price used, no one here uses them enough to determine that.
