I can't seem to find a gen 1 DSM with a flange but came across this, is this just crap or would this work fine?

Looks fine, says it will hold 25 LBS of boost.

meltboy11 · March 30, 2009, 07:31:36 PM

well should I avoid it?... lol I don't wana buy something that's gona break on me in like a week...

elyturbo · March 30, 2009, 09:09:29 PM

I had one of them in my Civic. It lasted more than a week.... twice that actually. :icon_biggrin: I losened the adjustment on it, since it was barely opening, and the diaphram inside broke. I bought a real Greddy Type S and it works flawless. I have seen the HKS knock off and they work ok. Good luck

meltboy11 · March 31, 2009, 07:44:46 AM

lol ok thanx, I'll keep lookin and buy something real... lol

intern8tion9l · March 31, 2009, 11:54:14 AM

It's $30, you're not out a whole lot if it breaks in a week. I have a knock off SSQV BOV that is 4 years old, been taken apart, put back together, still zero issues. Some of these knock offs have gotten good, to the point where it's almost impossible to tell the difference between it and the real one, of course other than the "cool' name outrageous price

Prospeeder · March 31, 2009, 02:32:46 PM

Iv been lookin for a BOV as well, but im not gonna pay like 250 bucks for one, lol.

intern8tion9l · March 31, 2009, 03:14:59 PM

if you went with that imitation, even if it crapped out it looks like it is the exact same as the real one, and you could still use the same flange if you felt like going for the real deal eventually

Keep looking for a gen 1 DSM bov. They can be had for cheap and work well. I have one on my TGP.

meltboy11 · March 31, 2009, 11:17:48 PM

ya nick, I know that's what you got from my thread like a year ago...lol, but I've been looking and can't find one... lol I want something that is going to work decently, and not break in a week or break my wallet either...lol
