I wouldn't. Normally you get what you pay for when it comes to ebay car parts.

^^^ nope, especially if your after sound. Most of the cheap ebay BOV's are actually just popoff valves with Greddy type S written on them. From my understanding they leak and also sell drugs to children :D

has an extreme motorsports one, worth $100us at the time, bought one off ebay for $20us, NO difference at all, the only difficulty is trying to match the diameter of the hosing to yours, you might end up having to spend a couple of bucks on some tees/adapters to fit

for something importan like boost i would buy from a respectible site or from a shop in town, i wouldnt trust an expensive engine and turbo to a $6 boost controler. for things like lips and shift knobs e bay is good but not boost controlers, thats my 2 cents

do you tune your car with your two cents though??

an MBC is one of the most basic designs in the world besides a what...a banana? it honestly wont make a difference...a 100 dollar mbc will work just as well as a 20 dollar homemade model
