I have the new version SSq on my turbo civic and SRT4. It;s the same valve just looks alittle different and they got rid of the adjuster screw cause it was cause problems. The reason why they changed it and i called HKS directly on this and their quote " We change the body only because of all the knock off's going around we want our customers to know whats real and not some other company ruining our name with a cheap knock off version. " The new V2 SSQ sounds the same and works the same. I think they made the internals a hair bigger for better flow but basicly it's the same thing as the older ones just looks different on the outside alittle. All the old adapters and inserts still work with the new one. I recommend the HKS over the tail only cause the HKS is a pull style BOV which will never leak under boost where the tail is a plunger style and i've had my fair share of plunger styles pop open and leak on my other cars running over 15 plus PSI of boost. Plus i love the sound of the HKS's. The old school Greddy type-S is the only other better sounding BOV i think. But the new RS sounds like crap and is junk. IT lasted all but three months on my SRT4 and thats when i tossed it into the trash and bought the HKS SSQ V2
