We aren’t hating, we’re just explaining why it’s probably not working. All those people who bought the fake greddy bovs had the same problem… They worked okay for a week then leaked like mad. ---

Wow! All this has to stop. Yes some of you have a point: knock off parts espescialy BOVs arnt reliable, mainly because there not as close in tollerance as far as seals. You get what you pay for. But If you dont want to help them, DON’T. Posting to call someone stupid just gives SON240 a bad reputation. If you think its stupid to use a part or you dont like someone… Just dont reply they will eventually they get the hint. ---

Yea but even brand name ones can be a PITA… I’ve got a Blitz DD and for a while I couldnt even get it to work so after taking it a part and cleaning it a few times, it just started to work outta no where… I’ve screwed with it for hours trying to make it open near 1-3psi but it just wont… either it wont open at all or only opens if theirs 5psi and over 3300rpm which is beyond me. ---

Yes i see this as well… But my real point is how people are trying to put there point across in a rather rude way. That has a negetive effect on the club as a whole. thats what i was really hoping to get across. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-blow-off-valve-problems/107378.md?page=1)
