Shane, no rush to sell mate. When I'm ready, I'll throw it up in the sale section.

$600 HKS SSQV = $20 Monza HKS imitation SSQV

Would you take the Lancer with the bodykit over the real Evo too?

Haha Brad. you're comparing chalk with cheese with this lancer stuff. My Monza looks, works, blows, smells, weighs, PERFORMS, sounds (and whatever else you want it to do) exactly the same as the HKS one. The only difference is the writing on the side of it and price. I even compared it to the original one on somebody elses car at the last bbq meet, hell noone could tell the difference unless they read the writing on it. So there

I saw that coming. I did it to stir.

Anyways, a couple years down the track and several pounds of boost later, we shall see how the copy holds up.

Daniel - what sort of boost are you running?? cos i think Brad has a fair point - at stock boost (ie anywhere from 9-13psi) the justification for a brand name BOV may not be there against a copy. BUT at more like 18-22psi (which is where i intend to be running my single turbo setup) i would consider that if i am buying a BOV, i would prefer to get one that is of some repute, not just a china copy.

then there's also the feature of the SSQV that separates it from other BOVs - its sequential venting. Do the SSQV copies perform this way?

the issue i am having trouble reconciling is the "risk" compressor surge offers my turbo - is it just a matter of compressor surge will cause my turbo to only last 5 years instead of 10 - or will it destroy it in a matter of months. cos i have a few mates who are mechanics by trade running hi-po turbos (supras, rx-7s) who havent fitted BOVs at all, and have been running their cars with big boost for 18+ months without issues, and who really dont believe that compressor surge offers much risk to a turbo. their only justification for a BOV is in track conditions to reduce the lag on gearchanges created by compressor surge, and give better throttle control.

Has anyone run the Monza AKA HKS ripoff at 20psi+?

Ok, I run stock boost, whatever it is (havent got a boost gauge). However my cuz who I bought it from had it for 2 years before he passed it on to me, he run his supra somewhere near the 20 psi mark. I can't recall what it was exactly, and that was for quite a long time, with no issues what so ever. (I'm not sure if he ran his at well over 20 psi, I might ask)
Also got a friend with a 1976 Escort running an SR20 with about 20 psi boost, he's got an exact BOV as me (Monza!!!!!) <---- (I am making fun of this name u realise) and yeah, he has no problems with it neither.

Oh, and yes, being an exact copy, it has a an identical SSQV system, even sounds the same as the HKS one.

Ok, if I was building something like you Shane then yeah I guess I probably would go for something like HKS... I can understand that. Although I got faith in this particular BOV I wouldn't be worried using it too, simply coz I know ppl who use it also. But most ppl here who don't really have anything too far from stock, I don't see the point... oh well

ok, you know this for a fact??? (this is a genuine question, not a challenge)

hmm....if the SSQV copies still sequentially vent, and can hold boost, then i may consider one for the short term (im only running about 14psi during this short term anyways, it'll be another 3 months and $2k before im confident enough to run 18-20psi). particularly seeing as i was gonna not run one at all during this said short-term.
