Ebay SSQV
So i've been looking to get a BOV for my turbo. I like how it sounds but 250 bucks is a bit pricey for a bov from hkss website.
Anyhow so i saw some one selling an old model HKS SSQV i decided to email the seller whos name is spelled trubo, yes trubo...
Dear snail_trubo,
So is the piston and the cylinder inside the BOV aluminum or plastic?
- tripzter
Dear tripzter,
Flange, Hose, Adapter, Hardware - all are aluminum

Dear snail_trubo,
The hose is aluminum too? come on guys seriously?
- tripzter

we'll see their response
that aside what do you guys recommend that sounds similar to the ssqv thats worth the money and wont break a week later? Does forge make anything similar?
i emailed the seller back.

I think the joke is on you for expecting a fleabay vendor to actually know what they're selling.
They don't make them. Heck, they probably never even seen one in person. It comes from some factory in china in a box, they slap their sticker on it, and post it on ebay. That's about it.
You're lucky the seller even knows how to speak a little english.
Oh and ssqv is insanely ricey and sounds gayer than a bag of dicks. lol

If you're going to go with ebay BOVs I would recomend nothing other than RFL. Despite being Really Fucking Loud, it is a simple design with only 3 parts: The housing, spring and piston. This thing honestly couldn't get any simpler, and even though I got mine for 40 to my doorstep, I honestly don't think it could be built any better, you'd have to be TRYING to make one of these bad quality.

Do you have aruminum vaccume hose? Seriousry though, since they're chinese they're obviousry going to be some bad ones. The ones that work do so very werr, but I'd stirr buy the one with the reast chance of not working out of the box.

Has anyone run one of the Tial Q bov? I saw it on BEGi's site and hadn't heard of it before but it looks pretty sweet.
