Default blow off valve too cheap???

looking for a few things off ebay for cheap.. would like to get an Intake and Blow Off Valve.. found these.. why are they so cheap?
to be honest, i am not looking for extreme performace, just a lil kick to add. blow off valve to make that sound i dream of. and an intake to help performace a lil bit. again, not looking to show this car or race it or whatever.. just a lil kick.. would this BOV be ok? i cant seem to find a cheap intake... ??

Read this: https://www.audiforums.com/m_72923/tm.htm

That chip is a scam, you need to search around on this forum and read up a WHOLE lot more about performance parts before you go wasting your money on BS items that youll later kick yourself in the ***** for buying. Search on APR or GIAC for chips that actually serve a purpose.

Buy parts from ECStuning.com or another reputable dealer.

Most of the stuff on ebay is crap for our cars.

There are some exceptions, but usually, if its good stuff, you can get it from a reputable dealer for near the same price. So why not go through someone that will warranty your purchase?

The chip you posted is not worth the plastic used to make it. A real chip costs around $500 for this car. There is no cheap intake for this car. You dont even need one unless you have a BT. The most you need is a K/N drop in filter.

Use the search before posting or you will need this:

Cool-Just read every thread you come accross on the last few pages and youll catch on real quick. And use the search a lot as well. If you can think of a question, chances are its been addressed 20 times before and is found by searching. Oh and if you go into your profile you can make a signature, use that to list your car specifics so people know the basic info on your car when trying to help you out. Got a digi cam? Take a pic of your ride and show us!! That should be customary for every new member!!
