Opinion on this hks bov

[Dsmj89]

Sorry for the hold up, i have a small 30 second clip of me driving, but somehow i keep getting a message that my video can't be published to youtube, anyone have an idea ?
I'll keep trying.

What format are you using?

we recommend that you save your videos as either QuickTime .MOV, Windows .AVI, or .MPG files— these are the most common formats and they work well within our system. We specifically recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 640x480 resolution with MP3 audio. Resizing your video to these specifications before uploading will help your clips look better on YouTube.

I'm trying to upload it from my iphone4, i assume it's mp4 format ?

Never mind here is the video :
I am running open downpipe till i take my car in to get a full exhaust done.

What puzzles me is that if it is a knockoff, it makes me wonder why people pay $200 for a new authentic one.

If you compare side by side to a real one, it does have the atrributes of the fake posted on the HKS counterfeit page, yet it sounds awesome. I also know someone running a knockoff of the earlier gen ones and it sounds identical to his or mine which is real. No need to pay $200 if you can find one like this guys.

 

[Dsmj89]

I agree chicken, especially if it can perform as the real one !
Hmm, hopefully this one does good.

 

[agarc023]

Sounds great. How does it hold up on boost?

I may have to pick one of these up

I'm sure it will!

Make sure you try to buy from same seller as his, just to make sure you know.

Not sure cause i don't have an aftermarket boost gauge, even though that's in my to-do list real soon.
I will keep this thread updated on that subject nonetheless, no worries good sir.

Since we took a chance on this one.
Look at the feedback. Then look at the country. Anybody wants to try it?

Seems like it has the long nuts on the back like the counterfeit part on the HKS site. 99.9% sure it's a fake, might work great though.

When you get it post some pics of it on here and take a video clip to hear it

"Special offer cause need some positive feedback : )." WTF

HAS to be a knockoff. There's no way HKS sold these out at pricing that far below what the seller has them listed for.

picked up my authentic SSQV V3 for 100. But we had it on as a test bov because my other one was leaking and the snap ring wasnt secure in place....Long story short...The car never saw the 30 psi because of a sudden loss of power followed by some "Ting....ting...ting" sounds...

Pics of the bov ? And for the price you bought it for did you get it used or brand new ?

And after seeing the link that deff gives it away as a knockoff.

Well, it was brand new....
Its not a knock off. Damaged goods dont sell for retail where Im from.

 

[Dsmj89]

Cool. Have pics to see ?

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Any updates yet. How is the bov running?

 

[Dsmj89]

Well i just bought a boost gauge last week and will be connecting it and the car will be running by next week after i take care of other little things.
Will keep you updated.

Most if not all T25's that I know drop boost anyways so you won't be able to tell if the BOV is leaking really. Just do a boost leak test, easiest and simplest way to tell.

Well the t25 is not on anymore.

 

[bwhite]

A BLT is the only true way to tell.

 

[Chicken Patty]

That's right, forgot. But it's still the best way to know, you can't just blame the BOV because you drop boost when anything can be leaking.

 

[Dsmj89]

Well no more doubts anymore, went the path i thought i'd never go back to... Authentic Greddy Type-S.
