well the difference is if you trust the guts to work. The HKS one is gonna work. The fake one... who knows. If you value your turbo.... i'd put something on there you know is gonna work. Think of it this way... buy the real one for $200, or buy the fake one for 100 and replace the turbo when the valve doesn't open. Want a cheap BOV... get a Bosch valve they're about 35 bucks and they're OE parts.

Rep Power: 270 my friend bought one, it never worked. He came over was like install this, i said ok, we put it on his gsx, we drive vroooom pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It would stay open. The valve would never close and it would leak the boost out. It was retarded. He ended up buying the real one so thats what i would go with.

Rep Power: 266 I don't have any experience with BOVs, but it seems like every other no-name part on eBay, meaning you get what you pay for, and nothing more.
