Eclipse Talon 4G63 2G Intercooler Piping Kit +BOV 95-99 | eBay

It came with the knockoff Type S BOV also that I have lying around somewhere. You can also request to get the couplers in black instead of blue like I did.

Actually the punishment knock off bov works great when you take out one of the springs. If you leave them both in its way to stiff. I'm running 22psi with that bov and it doesn't leak at all and releases pressure just like its supposed to when you adjust it correctly. :thumb: It was nice little surprise when I opened the box of pipes I ordered from punishment racing.


For those who care LOL

Type S BOV Spring Mod

You should really run a modern day valve and your outlook on what performs well will change. Also a type S has a different build quality than the replica.

All I know is my crushed 1g bov could not hold anymore than 18psi without leaking and this knock off has been pressure tested up to 25psi with the single spring mod and doesn't leak at all. It doesn't flutter at all either like most knock off bov's do. I run 22psi on it daily without a problem. Honestly what more could you want from a BOV besides an expesive brand name stamped on it? A bov is a pretty simple piece I can't see how one that cost 4-5 times more could "perform" much better to justify the price. I agree about build quality though but I've had this knock off apart and its build quality looks pretty good to me. Maybe I just got lucky to get a decent one.
 
Thats a nice kit man. I've purchased my header and CAI from ebay. I'm thinking about grabbing up one of the aluminum performance radiators, but I still got my concerns about em...

Don't pay attention to the piping in their pictures. It's the exact same thing that PR sells, the only difference is that the mounting bar is not included but I mounted mine directly to the crash bar or you can make your own bar. It came with the knockoff Type S BOV also that I have lying around somewhere. You can also request to get the couplers in black instead of blue like I did.

Not sure if the pix you posted in your photo gallery are of that kit, but where you able to keep your fogs... thanks!

Yea I did see that but I already had a NGR BOV though.

No the pics in my gallery are that of an ETS kit but yes you are able to keep the fogs with the PR/CXRacing kit.

Wow, 250 for a PR kit is a total steal. Now I have to find out if they have the 1g kit for that cheap!
 
Looks good man! Proof ebay has some glimmering hope of aftermarket parts
