Well heres the story... i was plannin on gettin the turbo xs rfl blow off valves but right before i was about to buy them i called my buddy for his opionion and showed me a pair or blow off valves online from a smaller company that looked just like the turbo xs as well as having almost the same description of quality, 36 lbs of boost etc... only difference being this kit came with 2 blow off valves and the adapter kit from turbo xs for almost 300 less then it would cost me to buy everything from turbo xs. I like to stick with name brand products but my friend has been into turbo cars longer than i have and he swears that the quality is the same and he even knows someone who has purchased one and it sounded/performed the same. But before i go ahead and buy it id like to hear if neone else has any opionions or expieriance with anything like this so i dont end up kickin myself thinkin "i shoulda did it right the first time"

Heres a link to them... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

Thanks, -Mike-

the great thing about a BOV is that they aren't really necesary, they prolong the life of your turbo and help to keep it spooled between shifts

that being said, a new greddy recirculating type bov is only about $200 newhttp://www.hybridconnection.co...d=147I'd stick to quality parts, I hate buying the same part twice

Alot of that stuff is made in china knock off crap. Sport Compact Car had an article on the ebay knock offs with some very bad results that would have caused alot of damage. I would completely avoid using any knock off parts just for safteys sake. Buy quality and don't skrimp when it comes to your cars longevity or performance.
