Thats an AliBaba Chinese HKS copy...He will get an VERO Removal for it soon enough , HKS are all over eBay . I expect it even comes in the HKS copy box, but he is trying to get around the VERO policy by listing no brand.....it wont last long, HKS have patent rights on the design.

They generally fall apart quite quickly....

No.... just no. I recently took my 6 or so year old genuine HKS SSQV 2 apart. Inside it was as good as new. It works perfectly and always has causing no running issues. The copies are usually full of rust and dried up seals in no time. BOV's cause people enough running problems as it is without trying cheapo ones. Either stick to recirc or get a proper HKS SSQV. Yes is will cost you a lot... but it's not worth buying a crap copy.
