Where did you get it? How much was it?

Can you take a picture of the flange? i.e. Bottom part of the BOV.

Thanks,
Jed

well it uses an HKS style flange too those are a PITA to cast so i am assuming it has somthing to do with HKS as long as it works i wouldn't worry bout it

yeah if it works, give it a try, but observe it, and make sure it works properly and its not going to leak or anything like that.

That thing is ghetto looking with Monza on the casing... What are you going to put this on? (what turbo/engine)
Keep in mind that a good BOV will increase turbo life, while a POS BOV will just shorten your beloved turbo's life.

How is that ghetto looking? It's an EXACT copy of my HKS SSQV (although I'd like to see the single or dual pistons close up) on an HKS weld-on flange.

Yup. Get a well lit (flashlight) close up of the relief valve(s).

jeff if you still are curious ill post a final pic but...

i got some info on it!

apparently its an exact copy of the HKS SSQV thats made by some australian company... its supposed to be "just as good", and retails for something ridiculous(300$)...
uses the same sequential valve system thing and everything.. neat stuff and costed me 150$

edit: im almost 100% sure its not made by pacesetter... other people use the word monza as well you know...

Instead it has the name of a rice company that makes indiglo "race" pedals or something. that's scary! I don't know, I wouldn't trust even the life of a tiny stock T25 with an SSQV unless it was genuine!
