Someone said those knock-offs on ebay are the same thing and hold up just as good as the HKS'.. just without the name.. anyone have any luck? Or know what they sound like?

TIA!

 

You mean like the "MONZA" HKS Flange BOV? I've installed one before, they are crap!! wouldn't even sit directly on the flange. It was all loose and it SPUN freely in the flange, even with the o-ring holding it down and a bigger gasket

Mine fit perfectly in an hks flange. As for driving with it, my friends say it sounds exactly like an hks ssqv. It looks almost identical too, only difference is as you had mentioned, no sticker as well, the nipple has been rotated so it's on the side as opposed to being directly across from the flange.

The sound to me doesn't sound exactly however, because it flutters a bit at the end. I've been ******* around with the settings and I can't seem to get rid of the fluttering. My friends' hks's sound like a fluent closure of the valve where mine is somewhat staccato. Anyway, I'm happy with it, and seeing that I sold the flange that came with it for 50 bux canadain, my 100 dollar canadian price tag for this "hks" bov doesn't seem that bad! haha

 

i have one. it doesnt suck... i wouldnt go around telling everyone to buy one, but i wouldnt tell people its poop either.

 

My main question is:

Will it hold 18 psi on a t3/t4e w/ 60 trim? Will it blow off and prolong the life of my turbo? Would anyone say this is a good buy or garbage?

Thanks!

 

If you are putting all that money down on a sweet turbo setup why skimp on the BOV?

 

I was thinking more of the MONZA looking one, not just the HKS look-a-like. I haven't installed that one yet.

 

honestly with the options out there just be patient and buy a used bov that's well made with a good rep.
