quick mod, nice sound too after . you'll have to twist the orientation of the evo x bov so there is no kink in the vacuum hose.

it will still point that way, but at an angle so the vacuum hose has less stress. theres freedom of rotation in the tube connecting to the bottom of the bov.

It holds boost alot better. I don't think it boosts peak hp, but it does increase area under the curve.
