its like comparing a michelin tyre to a ling long tyre, they both appear to be the same but when it comes to reliable performance the genuine article will always come out on top, the only reason the reps work well is because they copied a perfect design lol, having boost pressure holding the bov shut is genius, and the sound is so unique, it reminds me of the 90s, thanks hks! i wish you would have opened them up to compare the internals, maybe for another video ? also, the weight test was a new one for me and that alone projects the quality of each, nice video!
@@Negev999 what if I told you there is a lot more to than how a product feels in your hand? I personally know of a few people that have had the knock-off bov fail causing a massive boost leak. One even destroyed a turbo as the turbo was overspun to try and compensate.
@@Negev999 opps, meant to reply to the original comment. but yes, knock off airpods might work but if they break no big deal. If cheap car parts break they can potentially take out other parts with it.
Came here to check that i didn't get ripped off by VRSF because they drop shipped me mine as they were out of stock in miami. Happy to say that it passed the test! Phewww
You forgot to mention the real HKS has low profile acorn nuts while the fakes have tall and high acorn nuts. In addition look at the casting line down by the base on the fake one. The real HKS is smooth because it’s made differently. There is no seam.
They are exactly the same thing. Let's be realistic. What would a real the real difference a $400 hks bov vs a "fake" $60? Its not some overly complicated design. Its no electrical parts....and it only has 2 moving parts.....if you want to spend the extra money for the clout then by all means do so...I've had a real and fake on and their was no difference at all!
Other than the fact one company spent huge amounts of money to develop a reliable and performing part, one of the best performance companies in the world at that. Buying fake shit means they will no longer see the point in advancing their designs or coming up with new ones. The machining and quality is far better on the real unit, you do understand if the cheap knock off falls apart, that pot metal shit ends up in your engine, ruining it. I'm not risking my $20k dollar engine to save $200.
It seems to me the weight is THE biggest tell if its original or not. I'm going to go home and weigh mine now. I bought a fake one way back, then bought one from a speed site for a few hundred but, I've always wondered if the speed site charged me for a real one and sent a fake one-I wouldn't put it past them. The weight and, I've seen the cap screws that hold the base plate on (with the "hks' logo) on the end, the screws are lower height on the real one as opposed to the fake ones. The black one in this video however is a no-brainer.
So what was the difference between the two ebay ones as i noticed the black one looks different on the top it doesn't have the fins like the silver one...thay would both sound the same wouldn't thay?
It's funny... When you buy something in America, the directions are in multiple languages. When you buy something in Japan, the directions are only in Japanes. The Japanese are like, "speak Japanese or GTFO"!
Can they get sue for making it look exactly like the real one...I bought an ebay to try out and it hold boost pretty good just that some label and the filter falls apart. Lol
mine can in real box.BUT the fakes all have serial on box and SSQV #402838.but shit is better then a blown out BOV..mine looked like his real silver but #402838 serial?$60 or $400-500..if fake dies you can buy 8 more....ohh and my fake came with plumb back adapter and PB stopper plug..so mmm black looks like real one he has with adapters and $60...
@@elrubiohabanero13 lmao sorry dude im pissing myself....he just got raped!!!😂😂 News headlines: man has sex with hks bov or was he raped as his money fell short of his mouth and the opportunist takes advantage.
This was a pointless video. Take them apart. Install both. Show the differences.
Bro I was thinking the same thing no difference this video
The fake silver one was pretty close tbh. Thanks for uploading this, it'll help others from buying fake stuff.
I have the replica one about 5 year now on my Toyota ist 1nzfe TRD turbo and on 1jz gte it works fine no leaks

The Ebay One has Plastic inside, the Real HKS has Metal inside.
Making the Real HKS Blowoff sound Louder.
Awesome video, I ordered one that I'm skeptical about. I'll be using this as a side-by-side to make sure I don't get jipped!
Now we know that the sticker will be better, maybe a pressure test comparision?
Another difference to note: The rounded dome nuts on the back are short on the real one, the fakes will often have longer ones.
How to pay 230 more for a serial number on a box
so.....have you watch the entire video ? you can see that the fake one is in realy cheap material,bad quality that gonna break realy easily

Make a video and see which one sounds better!!
what was the difference i just got the cheap 1 haha for my dsm
Let's be honest they were made in the same Chinese Factory
Lol.... no.
Thanks for the video, I was just about to order a BOV and this helps :)
the 2 silver ones r very very similar. looks like its still made fairly decent. what were the price differences ?
tommy facekicker $250. Been tracking woth the fake one. So far it’s good
@@BobPham wow thats cool. thanks for the info.
Do a sound comparison

Depending on how much boost your pushing.

Do you have the link from the place you bought the real hks bov?
hello there, can you share the link for ordering the Japan one, thanks
Bobs soothing voice😝
Nice sharing vidio brother.thankyou

You ever weigh them?
Lmao this guy got scammed he thought it was from Japan but it came from china
Thats what i was thinkn lol he got 3 replicas
So what was the difference between the two ebay ones as i noticed the black one looks different on the top it doesn't have the fins like the silver one...thay would both sound the same wouldn't thay?
Take them part run them first then open then we need a sound check the whole enchilada.
Thanks for showing this
I’m sure you can rebuild the fake one with real hks internals. People have with the fake tials
Can you adjust the amount of air that comes out of it?
Fake ftw lol
It's funny... When you buy something in America, the directions are in multiple languages. When you buy something in Japan, the directions are only in Japanes. The Japanese are like, "speak Japanese or GTFO"!
how much does each product complete with packaging?
Thanks now I know I’m a victim to the fake BOV, been running fine either way but of course Im going to go find the real thing now 👍🏽
where to order real hks?
AbsolutelyBlake amazon
The fake hks bov has a tendency to shorten a turbo's life...I'm talking from experience.
What will happen if you use the replica?
Nothing. I use it on my track car. N bring a spare
Can they get sue for making it look exactly like the real one...I bought an ebay to try out and it hold boost pretty good just that some label and the filter falls apart. Lol
You didn’t even put the fake ones on the scale you put it half on half off the scale
mine can in real box.BUT the fakes all have serial on box and SSQV #402838.but shit is better then a blown out BOV..mine looked like his real silver but #402838 serial?$60 or $400-500..if fake dies you can buy 8 more....ohh and my fake came with plumb back adapter and PB stopper plug..so mmm black looks like real one he has with adapters and $60...
%99 same
The worst comparison ever....
I still prefer OEM... Somtime OEM is better than original.. Original is just a lie to steal your money.
original equipment manufacturer = OEM...............
