Default Buying a bov!

i know you guys have probably heard this a million times but i need to get a bov and dont want to spend the money for genuine products. so just wanted to know if anyone has tried the ebay knock off BOV and if they are worth the hassel. i just need a bov that will make the pshhht sound cuz i want to turbo the car and sell it.

i am looking into getting this one.
