::WARNING This is a Rant, You've been warned::
So with a new FFIM in place and my old pipe with the BOV flange no longer in the system I figured it would be a good time to purchase a new BOV as i had been running mine for 5 years. I love the HK$ SSQV, the style/sound/design, and I know they have the new model w/ the fins on the side, so I set out looking for one. 2 things I wanted, and adjustable model (w/ the screw in the back) as my previous one did not have one and It was a pain, playing w/ washers and springs, and Black if possible. Finally found a "Decent" deal

good price, color I wanted,
now notice in the pictures.. there are two models, and one does have an adjustment screw, one does not. I know that ALOT of ebay stores use the same pictures for alot of things, sometimes the picture is not what you are ordering. For exe, my "intercooler kit for 86-89 Toyota Supra" from ebay, was the picture of an eclipse. I know its just a kit they throw together to get close enough.
Also note in the description:
# Easy adjustable to prevent premature boost leakage & compressor surge
# Spring stiffness adjustment screw & two different size give you the option to match vehicle with mild upgrades to heavily tuned engines
okay speeding up. I ordered it. get it in.. and go figure.. no adjustment screw, honestly no big deal, but thats what I was looking for. I contacted the ebay store and said "hey wtf is up? You said I get this, and i got this" (It was worded much nicer and business professional) I get one e-mail saying, they were looking into it and would e-mail again before noon. Well the second e-mail came (late) and here's word for word, they're response as to why mine did not have an adjustment screw, even though the auction stated it did, as well as 2 extra springs.
"Dear ma70snowman,
This SSQV is automatic adjust ,no need any screw to adjust it.... It's good to go already...
Thanks. "
:aigo::aigo::aigo::aigo: SERIOUSLY!!!?? That's your response? :: angry :::: angry :: Even if I believed that load of crap... no I couldn't. I think I'll end my rant there. I was just flabbergasted they would insult my intelligence with such a idiotic response. Hell I really don't care that its not what I wanted, ship it back call it a day, or give it to me at a discount. I know when buying off ebay I got a 80% chance of NOT getting what I want/expect when it comes to china products/knock-offs, but for ****s sake, don't treat me like a moron.
Anyone else ever get these types of response from ebay?
