    I know it says dual port but I can only see the plumb back port? Does it have a trumpet that screws in on the other side?

    How do you know that this is a replica item?

    Sorry, but why would one buy far less install a replica BOV? Does that mean it is a functioning copy made by another company and is presumably cheaper, or that it is a non-functioning bolt-on item made to look like a real one, in which case, where is it fitted, as the car would still need its original in order to function properly? So many questions....:-)

    Many questions in deed, I asked how he knows it's a replica because it looks like the real thing, box also looks genuine

    From turbosmart "Hey mate, Unfortunately yes that does look like a fake, our springs are raw steel with colour markings to differentiate the different spring rates we use."

    Is it possible that the valve is genuine and someone/previous owner installed a different spring (something stiffer for higher boost pressure?)
