I wonder what the dangers would be if it failed. At least 1 person claims its 5 stars. Could be good at a fraction of the price.

It's poor quality, even the accessories that come with it are inferior, ask me how I know. I tossed my fake ssqv III in the trash and paid for a real one from maperformance. Piece of mind is priceless.

A few people were trying these with N54 BMW engines back when I was in that crowd. Most ended up ditching them for Synapse or the real HKS.

There is an in depth thread on the knock off of the v4 bov on dsmtuners. The guy was actually trying to show people which one is the fake so they can avoid it. In actuality it just showed that the knock off is 99.9% on point.

I've had one on my dsm since the v4 was made and it's worked flawlessly. I sold my real one that was on it before.

The older ones aren't as well made. You have to get the v4 from the right vendor on eBay. Make sure the pic is of the actual product and make sure it's the one that looks exact.

If I can find the link of the side by side tear down I'll post it.&

Take a look at the Amazon link above. If it didn't/doesn't suck id consider it.

Ive had fake blow valves on previous cars that worked fine but those cars were only pushing like 10-15 psi. Your talking about putting it on a car that has double that. The diagrams on the fake ones leak at higher Boost levels and one day you'll wonder why your car is idling super high and all that mess. If i were you id just get the real thing and avoid the headache. An authentic hks sqv is 200$ on amazon and shipped straight from japan. I made my own hardpipes, Cold/hotside with an authentic hks bov and total cost was 330$.

Anyone ever try this thing?
Dewhel Universal BOV SQV 4 SSQV IV Turbo Blow Off Valves JDM W/ 2.5'' Adapter Flange (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CZESF8C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YY3JxbBCKPCR1

I have a buddy that has gone through a handful of knock off HKS BOV. Not that exact brand, but identical. They constantly have boost leaks and are a huge headache. Your better off just buying the real deal first time around and not having to worry about any issues down the road.

Agreed! I see a lot of people trying to save a lil bit of money, but it's funny how they have the cash to do it right the second time around. :D

Guess I got lucky. I ran 26 psi daily in the dsm, 374whp on pump with a 20g. Its on weekend duties now.

The one in that pic doesnt look like the one I'm talking about. Mine has the HKS emblems on it and the Hologram on the back.
