Is the mounting flange of the Greddy Type-R BOV same as the HKS racing BOV?

I am not talking about the older HKS SSBOV I am talking about the new HKS racing BOV one. Does any FD owners have them on their car and just wondering how does it sounds like.

No it won't fit. The HKS Racing Type II uses a C-clamp like the SSQBOV. The Racing is designed for high boost or high CFM and really isn't a BOV to get if you want sound.

And yea it was on my car when it got jacked.

i asked about 6 months ago on this forum, and general consensus was that is was an HKS Racing Blow Off Valve. also, i have heard it on numerous Supras before, both in videos and in person, and found out they were using this same BOV.

Looking at the video it looks like the turbo makes that sounds more than the BOV.

I would love to know what makes that noise...... I have hurd the wastegate can do it?!?! dont know that... but when I asked a shop they said it's when the turbo pushes a little too much PSI for the blow off valve so it flutters.
