Probably another cheap Ebay knock off. I have a cheapy from ebay but not that one. The only thing you might find with a ebay BOV is that you still get compressor surge because the spring is too heavy. My solution was I went to the local hardware store with the spring and found a similar sized one with a lighter spring rate. Added a total of 50 cents to the cost of my BOV.

I've got that bov. It sounds pretty good at about 10 psi.. but at like 5 and below it sounds like ----.. it like flutters instead of blowing off... for that much save up a couple extra bucks and get the hks ssqv or something.

Got it in the yesterday. Looks very good. One thing I would recommend doing is taking it apart and applying a bit of grease to the valve body. The grease it has on there is rather thick and not very fluid. That might explain the flutter. The spring in there is also rather stiff, If you could get something a bit less stiff, then this BOV might work well for you. I'll post pics when I get a chance
