Anyone try this one out yet?
EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - GReddy Type-RZ Blowoff Valve: Universal

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Taken from their new product announcment,
"This limited edition Type-RZ blow off valve is based on the ever popular performance and sound of the Type RS, but provide a more subtle exclusive and stealthier look with a black chrome and Gunmetal-anodized finish. The adjustable dual springs, excellent valve to diaphragm ratio, and ability to blow off to the atmosphere or re-route into the intake track, makes the Type-RZ idea for most turbocharged applications in the 100-450hp range."

Interesting, so it is a RS with a updated look...

That's a pretty bold statement to make. Do you have any proof? Sales figures? Show of declining stock? EVEN IF they were going out of business, that has nothing to do with the quality of there work which has been fantastic over the years. Greddy is a great choice because it is made as a bolt on for our car, are universal so are fairly cheap and work fantastically as well as having the capability to be recirculated. It is true that the Japanese Greddy/Trust division declared bankruptcy, but they did not go out of business, and the American couterpart, which obviously supplies all of our parts, is in great shape. Making assumptions and spreading rumors on forums isn't going to get you liked very well. Especially by vendors who carry there products.

Quiet. This isn't about Tial v Greddy, this is a product specific question.

No ones' feelings were hurt. You were just spreading misinformation around. Filing bankruptcy IS NOT going under. What you "heard" is wrong.

Anyway, I got happy when I saw this thread because I thought Greddy was trying to bring the Type-S back. Apparently not.

Ah yes, the Chapter 7 vs Chapter 11 debate... There is a difference!

Greddy America is fine. Greddy in Japan is the one that is having issues.

My B everyone. I wasn't trying to start any problems. I was wrong, I can admit it. Thats just what I heard. I didn't really look into it.

 

[rich3389]

So anyway....Someone let us know if it the exact same thing as an RS with a new look or if they changed it a little bit.

 

[jjgrizz73]

Thats what it says in the description. Basically just a different look, but looks better IMO but 50-60$ better ...no

 

[SpawnedX]

If it resolved the diaphraghm issue, then it is worth it.

 

[Deuce_three]

Hmm, I bet the internals are still the same. Just gave it a new top cover and a better looking trumpet.

Correction. GReddy is a good OVERPRICED product. You can have the same results without the name.
