HKS blow off valve questions

HitBoostTwinTurbo · 08-25-2011, 11:54 AM

I went to a shop called "Too fast motors" and they had an HKS bov that was selling for $200. That seems cheaper than what the actual HKS website asks for it, so i found it a bit sketchy.

Do you guys think its fake? would BOV's cause any problems (2008 E93)? Will it void warranty?

There are fake ones out their. But you have to remember as vendors we do get them cheaper then retail price.

It shouldnt cause problems but you would need a charge pipe to mount it as well as a proper flange welded on the pipe (or you can just buy a charge pipe with an HKS flange). The stock charge pipe is plastic with 2 diverter valves so you cant just slap on a BOV.
