Why don't you put your stock intake and BOV back on and see if the problem persists? It could just be a coincidence that something else went bad at the same time you did the work.

Also, do you have a link to the ebay intake that you bought so we can see what exactly you have?

So, you installed a intake pipe and the problem started. You then replaced it with the stock piece and the problem went away. At this point you bought a Type-S and installed that, the problem came back. So what is on your car right now?

Oh, and if you would combine all of your thoughts into an understandable paragraph including punctuation before posting it would help.

it cost like 40 bucks,is that what you were refering to?
Just for some future info, the "ebay knock-offs" are utter garbage. Save and by a REAL Greddy Type-S BOV.

Ebay's only good for little things non-performance-wise, unless it is a used/new part that IS real.

For example; headlights, bulbs, clusters, mufflers, etc...are okay to buy from there.

But stuff like turbo's, BOV's and more "technical items arn't such great purchases on ebay since 99% of them are knock-off's.

For an example; My buddy bought a AFPR for his car. And well the regulator "pooped-out" on him and caused his car to run so lean that it ruined his motor.

you just gotta be carefull what you buy off of ebay...

In my opinion, ut all of your stuff that you repalced abck on and see if your problem presist...
