Same thing, different branding, $135 cheaper brand new. You probably want to adjust your price if you really wanna sell it. GLWS.

Are you trying to imply that because it is cheaper, it is less quality? Why? Have you tested them? Do you know the materials used in both of them? For me, they look exactly the same. Plus, Torque Solutions (The brand making the "copy") is a well know North America (Florida) based and manufactured company. So your argument is invalid.

yes that is what i am saying... those are a copy of the bsh because i had a bsh mount on my 03 over a decade ago and no one was making those except them... so i know that BSH was the company who created them because back then it was either BSH, VT or the powerflex inserts... not sure who they are well known by but looking at their site all of there mini parts are copies of other companies stuff... the boost taps look like black versions of the NM tap... sorry to break it to you but many of the parts you see on sites like that were done ages ago by other companies

Well, BSH was selling them for $89.99 on ECS tuning, so since they were cheaper, following your logic, they are less quality lol. At any point I said that the design is not a copy, it obviously is. What I am saying is what are your arguments to affirm that the Torque Solutions is a lesser quality product. I am still waiting for that answer. Again, do you know the quality of the metal used in one and the other? The quality standards? Don't you understand that it might be a mere matter of production volume that it allows Torque Solutions to manufacture them cheaper? And that might be the same reason BSH mount is not being sold anymore.
