Very true. Some peoples cars like the stock DV over the MR DV and have ran really ****ty with the MR DV. I haven't had this experience and I think the MR DV was worth every penny.

 

Is there a difference between the US MRDV and JDM MRDV?
RAW

 

Yes, the US MR comes with the same plastic DV as the regular Evo. The JDM MR comes with the metal one.

 

any pics of the plastic one off the car?

Thanks.

 

im happy with mines. holds makes my car feel solid.

 

Are there a sites that have it in-stock right now?

 

I was wondering how does the MR JDM compare to the metal BOV from the first gen Eclipse which is also metal.
Buschur racing sells the upper intercooler pipe with the first gen Eclipse BOV, they also kind of look identical.

I heard from so many second gen Eclipse owner that the 1st gen eclipse BOV was listed as one of the first mods to hold boost.

Any feedback on that? Thanks!

 

Switched from JDM MR BOV to stock one while awaiting install of buschur upper I/C pipes,did nothing else(Had sold JDM MR BOV,thats why the switch)and lost 2lbs of boost,thats right 2 lbs of boost,WOW.Took all of about 10 minutes to change,so weather and engine temps had nothing to do with loosing 2 lbs of boost.Other than that driveability and everything else was the same,just the 2 psi loss was all(no,there was no boost leaks created from the change over).In conclusion,2 thumbs up for the JDM MR bov,and the stock plastic one is a POS.

 

will the jdm DV void my warranty??

 

as far as I could tell.. both the JDM and the stock valve hold 21psi with no probs, but the JDM valve made my car stall out if i slightly tapped the throttle while parking, etc... so I switched back to the stock valve...

 

Will the JDM MR DV hold 24 - 25psi?

 

I think the JDM MR DV is capable to hold at least 24psi.

 

Slightly... (very slightly)... off topic, but I knew that my 03 black plastic was leaking above 22 psi, so I bought the Greddy type S and sealed up the leak, had to turn the boost back down a bit afterwards because of the replacement.

Just wondering why you guys are choosing the DV over a BOV? I try to avoid the bling factor whenever possible, but I liked the adjustability of the Greddy for different boost levels.

Somebody fill me in.

Thanks

 

Mines is on the way
