BOV's have stalling issues?
im currently thinking about putting in a BOV for my evo 8 but ive been hearing that there are stalling issues.... is this true and if so when does it stall?... is it after a hard run or does it just stall with no warning... i wouldnt want to stall while on the freeway... if you have heard about this or have knowledge about this i would greatly appreciate it... i was about to buy an hks blow off valve... but all suggestions would be greatly put into thought... thanks again

you will not stall if you dont VTA, as long as you recirculate, and dont have the spring tightened too hard, you will be fine, VTA BOV's stall when at idle, not while at cruise, they just run ****ty when they are VTA, search, you will find lots of info on this one.

2) Based on that, why are you getting one?
3) why would you first choose an HKS SSQV?
4) Have you done any searching to see the thousands of threads discussing BOV

some people like the noise a bov makes... i like it myself... its a performance mod yes to aid in holding boost levels, but its unique sound is a nice thing also.
this is not true either, i had the ssqv on my 03 and still stalled with it recirc... dont know why really, so i left it vta....

Unless you know your stock one is leaking or if you are running higher than stock boost, there is no reason to get another BOV. If you like the sound, then great, that's your choice. But it is not considerted to be a performance mod if it does not provide any gains (not necessarily hp) or if it negatively effects performance?

You probably had the spring to tight if you were stalling, I dont know much about the SSQ so im not sure, but if it worked like it SHOULD, you would have no issues, you also would have been ok with a cheaper, just as good MR DV, but its your cash.

Whenever I see someone revving just to get their bov to make noise and try to impress someone outside the car....... all I can think of is "what a tard".
Don't be that guy. Just my opinion, not directed at you.

yes the sound is one of the things i like about it... i must admit... but not for other people... i could care less about what others think... back to the issue i was considering the hks because i know the brand and ive always used it... unfortunately ive heard issues so now im still thinkin about it before i get it... i was also considering the greddy.... im not looking for something extremely loud even if i were the only one to hear it im fine with it... i have thought about just raplacing it with the mr bov that comes standard with the 9's also... either way i just cant make up my mind on what to do and was hoping someone here could help me decide... dint really think there was a lot of haters out there for BOV's or people even asking about it... also i dont drive a dodge thanks for all your infos and opinions... and dont worry i wont be that tard that revs his engine just to get looks from people....

It would not bother me having to bring this issue again. Be very aware with the BOV, I have had a bad experiences with the Non recirculating Turbo XS RFL-H model BOV.
The TurboXS RFL-H does amongs other things:
drop your boost
makes your turbo spool slower
loose power
stall your power in the mid rpm range
and last but not least, if you don't clean the internal piston it would lock itslef open and your car wouldn't even start.
The stock is good for just about stock boost. The Buschur Racing 1 Gen Eclipse BOV crushed in the top can hold boost very well.
The Evo 9 BOV is metal and much larger than the Evo8 which is plastic. I also heard that Greddy Type S adjustable is good.
Summarizing, the recirculating BOV work very very well with stock turbo.

the freaking Evo has a blow off valve! put on a cone filter, tune for it, and you'll hear an awesome sound... the turbo spooling and venting. It's way better because it's the REAL sound of the turbo and not some semi-fabricated, amplified videogame wannabe squeak! Why would you want to sound like an SRT? Sound like an EVO!!! Be proud!

Whats with the stock bov anyways. In comparison to aftermarket ones, it looks like its installed backwards. Is there draw backs to not recirculating? I like the sound and wanted to get one to hear it.
