genuine hks bov?

[Mynes_3]

i search already but im not good at it so i cant really find anything. im looking at buying a first gen hks ssqv. i know how to tell the diff between the lastest gen bov real and fake but the very first one with the yellow hks logo is hard i guess. any clue on how to tell its real? any bolts or stamp on it to tell its legit and not fake ebay crap? thanks

send HKS an email or call tech support if they have it.

There is no obvious way to tell a fake from the real thing short of completely disassembling it.

Iirc they all say hks not ssqv.

Posting a pic might help.

I have one, think I bought it back in 2003 or '04. What you are calling yellow is actually a type of gold HKS lettering. If you want to go back to one of my old pic threads on here you can see it installed. It's been sitting in a box in the shed for a few years now. Was thinking of selling it but I would prefer to sell the entire IC kit w/ piping & the HKS BOV.

found this while trying to search..

-If you take it apart the real one has a black rubber diaphragm while the one in the fake unit is orange
-The diaphragm on the HKS also stays attached to the body, while the fake one doesn't
-Inside there's black rubber that says super sequential
-Inside cone is purple
-Older ones have adjustement screw
-Newer ones don't have screw
-Only 4 screws holding the cover, the other 4 are for looks

mine does say super sequential on the black rubber thing and the inside cone is purple. if fake ones are purple too then i dont know what to say..lol
