Amjad Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Apart from being fake is there anything bad about them? lolDo they sound like the real deal? E.g. Greddy Type S / HKS SSQV replicas?Amjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 stop being a cheapskate! lmao oj dude, theres probably not much difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ive got a replica forge and it chatters lovely altho i do have a whistle which i believe is a boost leak but it doesnt mean its from my cheap ebay bov lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maz90 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have the HKS SSQV replica and i put the genuine hks gold fin insert in for the high pitch whistle.It sounds he exact same as the genuine one,can't fault it at all.Think the dumpvalve itself was £35 and the fin £20.

brewin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 as long as it donsent leak it should be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would have got a Fake one to be honest..But didn't have to as my boss gave me a genuine greddy type-s for free as he didn't need it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You know what I think mate But as for sounds I dont think there is much difference tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep_brad Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 i had a fake hks and sounded the same as a genuine one but was only £25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have said it once before and ill say it again, the Greddy type s is the best sounding BOV money can buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 stop being a cheapskate! lmao oj dude, theres probably not much differenceLol! Well I don't really wanna pay loads if I like the sound of chatter which is free! I'd rather get a genuine obvs but don't wanna pay over the odds of course!I have the HKS SSQV replica and i put the genuine hks gold fin insert in for the high pitch whistle.It sounds he exact same as the genuine one,can't fault it at all.Think the dumpvalve itself was £35 and the fin £20.Is your SSQV adjustable? Link?There aren't many videos of the SSQV with gold fin but it sounds mint in this one! I really want a Greddy Type S because I can adjust it to have chatter at low boost and that unique sound at high boost Does anyone know which version of the HKS SSQV is adjustable? Think I wanna buy a genuine Greddy Type-S and Replica HKS SSQV (because they don't look as fake as the Greddy replicas ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 yeah they should sound the same but wont last anywhere near as long... there cheap for a reason, mad with crappy materials and shite springs.sound ok, but wont last long imo. a boost leak is inevitable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^ Hit the nail on the head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Gonna try and get a Genuine Greddy for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 dont buy a bov for the sound buy it for the quality and the performance of the bov in my opinion fake e bay bov gst dunt cut i it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah obviously I want it not to leak etc, just wondering what people's experiences were with them as the HKS replicas look identical! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 they may look identical but they are not made identical thay are cheap and poorly made they dont hold out like a real 1 thats y they are so cheap like the lads have said greddy type s is the best bov in my opinion its findin 1 that is the problem lol they are gettin quite rare now a days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BearFaceOfDoom Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah obviously I want it not to leak etc, just wondering what people's experiences were with them as the HKS replicas look identical!I have a genuine SSQV and Birdmandan has a copy and they don't sound the same I don't think. I havnt heard his with his car bein set up like mine for a while now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdmandan Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah i must say bears Genuine HKS sounds and releases pressure so much better!I have a fake HKS and it sounds like a real one but kinda weaker if ya get me! more of a blow then a whistle....Dont skank on em and purchase a real one IMO, its definately on my list of things to purchase!
