Most of them do what the originals do, so just grab one...........

I can't say anything about the wastegates but my ebay BOV turned into a 50 dollar paper weight in 5 days running stock boost. POS!

I had an ebay one for about 10 seconds until I threw it in the dumpster. It would leak after 7psi. and the adjustment screw didn't do anything. I would stear clear of ebay bov unless you have a recommendation.

I had problems with a real HKS blow off. Blew it the hell up.

If you're interested, I've got one of those ebay knock off ones in my garage that I'll never use. I bought it for my wifes old Miata that I was going to turbo, but she got Tboned in it and now I have no use for it. I'd let it go for cheap.
