Just had a reply from the seller, who thanked me for my HONESTY in telling him he had sent me one........think thats rich considering his advert, which clearly shows a Greddy BOV, still i made him send me the postage money :lol:

Gosh your so fussy, its a bov innit...

Full refund I hope...

Did you tell him it was not as advertised...

:-D

I'll tell you exactly what it is.... It's a knock off of a Greddy Type R BOV from 4 -5 years ago made in the Philipines of very poor quality. They tend to leak a lot and do not open at specified pressure. They sell this .....well......this at flea markets at car shows to the un-educated persons in attendance. Best to return it and get a refund..... for everything.

Quick update on progress. True Greddy BOV's Type RS acquired. 5 in all with hose adapters. 5 aluminum pipes have been measured and cut and sent off to the welders and to be flared. With any luck I'll be back in town in a few weeks or a month at the outside to polish them up and get them off. If your really nice to Ekapol he may take piccies of the BOV's in their nice shiney new boxes with his new Nikon DSLR Camera. and post them up. Enright we also have your Black silicone hose fittings. Cheers for the time being gents as I"m off back home to Chicago tomorrow.

No BOV piccies yet but a shot of pride in craftmanship :-D

If I believed that there'd be no way to fab up NLA door-locks or have the determination to litteraly get to that "one" bolt which at 1st seemed inaccessable. My quote...

With a broad array of tools, a full set of manuals, and the ability to think... you can do almost anything.

BTW LGM, I like Blue Nitrile gloves over those latex ones. They seem to last forever compared to the latex, and therefore justify the 1/3 price premium.

here is a link to my car photo album with pics of the rollbars, deflectors and some of my other pet projects.

Unfortunately the link seems to go to a dead page now - but i still have the pictures of the roll bars if you need them :wink:

For any other pictures (or links to somewhere suitable to find them) I can't help at this time.

I'd be interested in any the above, preferably if the blow-off valve is of the recirculating type. Would also like a matching shiny pipe for the turbo intake as well, a la Ekapols new turbo upgrade

Our fabricator seems to be very busy building race cars. :-)

I'll drive there delivering another 2 pipes to him and might need to giving him a :smt064

Dekano: Sorry for that, the 1st lot is in progress at the moment. We'll let you know if we have time to make more of these in the future. Marie is flying around the US, my schedule is also pretty tight :cool:
