You are running this in recirculation mode aka BPV aren't you? Running vented to atmosphere aka BOV is no going to work very well. With the Type RS in hand, are you not able to press down of the valve and get it to unseat at all? Is this a new or used piece? You can unbolt the top with an allen wrench (3mm?) and check for a bad diaphragm or an obstruction.

Yeah, that tends to happen with Ebay parts; lot's of knock-offs. You might try lubing the shaft. Can you post up some picts of it?
