Thanks.

Spring mod
this might sound like a dumb question, but im also looking into buying a type s bov or maybe even this knock off one. But anyways i've read through other posts and other sites that the spring mod is highly recommeded. If i do buy the greddy type s bov does it come with 2 springs and the "mod" comes with greddy bov package or do you buy the spring seperately. Sorry about the confusion, but just wanted to clear that up before i get what i need. thanks.

I also have one had it about 300miles works just like my type S b4 I sold it and gain like $58bucks! I still need to tun it though because at part throttle it will open underboost... but full thottle it is closed all the way!

considering, if a company does a knock off after their copyrighted or similar (can't remember what it's called) situation, then of course it's going to be a lot cheaper, since all the R & D costs are skipped through copying someone elses design.
This happens to all market, especially the drug market. Once a company has a monopoly on a product, they could do this until certain period of time, then after that the gov allows other company to copy the drug at cheaper costs.
So your generic tylenol at eckerds is the same as your tylenol, same ingredients and everything. It's just that it's cheaper because theres no need for marketing or research and development.
So i don't see anything wrong with this product.
However, I do see the lower body casting is not any better or equal to the Greddy one. I guess that would be the only thing wrong with it.
I'm sure they skimmed on the quality inspection, if there is any.
