Newbie ForumBeginner/newbie/general DSM questions. first mods, how to run 10's when you haven't run 12's yet, any tech question that doesn't fit in another tech forum. New Members must limit their tech posts to this forum and sub-forums.
I am trying to figure out if this is a stock BOV or not. It says greddy but there is a rubber tube coming off so idk. I just got the car from a relative and am trying to figure out if it has any mods. Pics below.
Let me know please! Thanks.
O and if it is aftermarket (i believe it is) how much boost should it be able to handle? Thanks.

I mentioned that it could be a fake because there are fake GReddy's out there. The difference is the diaphragm tends to fail on the fakes and knock-offs. So if that's not a genuine GReddy I would not run much more then 20psi. Since the person who put it on was actually smart enough to recirculate it, they were probably also smart enough to get a real GReddy though. That bov will be good for 20-30 pounds if it's legit.
I only mentioned that it could be fake because I saw a bov packaged in GReddy packaging that looked exactly the same, but it turned out to be fake. The only visible difference was the color of the diaphragm.

was this and actual serious question??? lol. even my 10 year old cousin was able to tell that its not stock by just looking at the pic
i know its a bad picture but if you look closely you will see the word greddy stamped into it, like the other people said. Its where that thin rectangle is on the silver part towards the left in the pic.
Defenently not stock its a greddy one of the best u can get and is also becoming a hard to find item since they stoped making them they now make the greddy type rs to make it louder take the jamb nut loose and tighten the center screw down and do it in reverse to make it quiet and will hold upwards of 30#s of boost
most of the greedy type s or rs will leak and will flutter and will give you some surge ( i said most and not all of them)
i tried 2 Greedy so far and 2 of them leaked from the breather and there was no way to fix them excpet for sealing it of with glue. and then again after sometime they will leak again.

stock 1g BOV is way much better if you ask me
I own the 1g BOV & a Greddy TYPE-S & I like the 1g better imo.
Greddy Type-S= I love mine, i love the sound (wish it was louder......its all the way hard if anyone knows how to make it louder let me know) mine never leaks, and works great.
BTW totally not stock, trust you would know the stock when you saw it.....i blew mine out SEVERAL times at a measly 7lbs. Stupid POS.
well again speaking about these greedy bov , i have hard ic piping and intake dejon and still this greedy is not loud at all, the stock plastic junk is just louder
thats hard to believe, I had both a greddy and stock 1g bov vented and the greddy was by far louder than the mighty 1gbov, but then again I had the real greddy.

I agree, thats the only way I know of telling.

The greddy has the ability to tune it, soft or hard, in turn this allows it to be louder. The 1g bov is one of the best there is, especialy true when you factor in the cost, but my greddy was alot louder. Peroid.

even if you tune to the hardest its still not as loud, i have hard IC piping and Intake and still, its not loud.
anyway i dont want to argue more about it, but again maybe one of us needs to clean his ears either you or me
stock bov is crap and 1st gen is crap too is just a way to go cheap on a bov.. type s is great and sounds exelent performance BOV. now lets upgrade that ice piping.
Cheers
