An authentic HKS is a great bypass for non-recirculated setups running stock turbochargers with maf sensors that are placed at a greater than factory distance from the compressor inlet.

That said, if you arn't confused enough already, you shouldn't run one because it lacks the vacuum recirculating action provided by other popular "push type" bypass valves, such as the greddy type-S or HKS race models, which allow the compressor to bypass during idle, and all off throttle positions (instead of only high vacuum off throttle situations) which will keep your turbocharger healthy, more free from wear and tear.

Many people do not realize how important it is to have the bypass hang open around idle, recirculated. And always keep as much length between the compressor and maf as possible.
