It's rubbish mate, certainly not a HKS.
It will be messing with the fueling too. If your going to have a VTA get a decent one and get the AFR's checked as well.
It looks a nice looking RA (i love um in white) it would be a shame to kill it.

Its not the one in the ebay picture,it is an early gfb dumpvalve from a few years ago.Not very loud and as stated previously above far better to stick the std plastic recirc valve back on.Nothing to be gained by fitting that or any other dv ,unless your car is mapped for it imho.

Bailey, ewwww! Wouldn't touch one with yours Jamo old bean lol
I ran a Forge for 2 and half years with zero issues and the customer service is second to none.
I am now dv-less and it is a lot smooth on the change and the chatter is awesome.
