    One of these things is not like the others.

    ok, just looked it up. basiclly its a hks type 2 racing bov but with no diaphram, which in my opinion diaphrams are better. ive had piston actuated bov's before and boost leaks past the piston. i dont see the big deal. but if it works thats what matters.
