ebay knock off type s

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

You can probably find a good used bov on craigslist for the same price as a knock off on ebay. That way when you do get the bov on and push some good amounts of boost you don't have any leaks. Everyone I know that had an ebay bov doesn't have one anymore.
 
I have the NGR type-s, I have had it forever, it seems to hold great, I am at 19psi.

Although I have to say it is the most ANNOYING thing I have ever heard on my or any car, I hate every minute I drive with it "blowing" off, PAAAAAAACHIIIIIIIIINK!!!!!!!!!

I have a 1g sitting around that I just need some motivation to put on, TREV, your in my area PM if you want I will hook u up with the type s, if that is the case you just have to wait maybe a few hours for me to get the other flange welded on my pipe.....
 
Some people have hit or miss quality with ebay BOV's. If you watch craiglist, you probably will find a name brand one in decent condition for pretty cheap.

I got a HKS BOV for my supra for about $50 and it was clean as hell (it was the adjustable one)

hay man when i lived in marysville i saw your car it is hella clean i would like to have a gen 2 talon like yours
 
:notgood: Ebay type-s

I have one on my car until I get some funds for a better one. It sucks horribly. It flutters and sounds like crap. The screw in the top stripped out and the nipple on the back broke off.

when it flutters all the time no matter what, it seems like the diaphragm has ripped. this is common on the knockoff hks/greddy. open it and you will see. you can always replace the diaphragm with a real greddy and then it should function properly and still be cheaper than a real greddy or NRG.

the screw stripping on top as well is common problem with the knock off greddys. easy solution by removing and getting new one with same thread or rethread the hole.

still i know some, make that many, would rather not do all the above.

Thats not a bad idea for people on a budget. You have to trade time for money in this case.
 
I have a knock off type s and had no problems with it for a long time until one day of spirited driving made it start fluttering instead of the usual pssSSSSHT. I took it off and saw the o-ring to the diaphram blew off. I super glued it in place but didnt fix the fluttering. Broke the nipple connecting to the manifold and had to jb weld it back on. You get what you pay for. Besides that it had no problem handling 18psi.
