I can't see ****. Show or tell us what you're wanting an opinion on.

BTW, don't you have a tread already open on this subject?

Nevermind you fixed it.

I wouldn't trust anything that isn't name brand. So I say no. Besides, $30-50 more would get you a much better BOV.

It's pretty much the same as the TurboXS RFL. You may have to grease the piston of the bov to get it to slide smothly within the case... but other than that, it should work well.

I IS a clone of the RFL.... I dunno,,, I have the RFL and i love the thing... but i don't know i'f i'd go with a ripoff of whats already the cheapest BOV out there.

Other thing dude... it has to seal up TIGHT, or your idle will go to hell and the car will stall all the time. (read links on venting stock BOV to atmosphere)

I absolutely HATED my RFL... it got so damn annoying after the first day. Here are some clips of how my car used to sound with 1 shim in the bov:

Sounds like a damn whip! It's so loud I can hear through traffic an 1/8th mile away.
