Injen intake with turboXs bov?

i have a 2005 evo 8 which i just recently started modifying i installed the injen intake a few months back and just recently decided to upgrade my BOV i bought the TurboXS bov RFL and it dont look like it can recirculate the air back it just blows straight to atmosphere. i was wondering will; this set up work without stalling problems or is there a way to mod it to work. if anyone has this setup or knows how it will act any information would help

You've made the all the classic newbie mistakes so far:

1) Installed an intake as a first mod
2) Installed a BOV as a 2nd mod
3) Bought one of the worst possible BOVs for your Evo _before_ asking if it was ok
4) On your first post, you created a thread without heeding the rules, which demand that you search first.
5) That thread asked a terribly newbie question that has been asked at least 1000 times (many of which were deleted).
6) You didn't even use the newbie forum.

You've made awful mistakes with your mods. No, you can't run a VTA bov on your Evo - I have no idea what would possess you to purchase that BOV instead of a proper one that is known to work well.

i did the same thing when i bought my car, wanted to hear the loud bov. well it wasent worth it, it wouldnt hold boost passed 21psi and it always dropped idle even after a tune. i changed to a recirculating bov and runs great no problems since. i do miss the loud bov but if you have to choose, pick performance

A cool noise isnt worth crappy performance IMO.

lol thx for the feedback i got some good answers and then i got answers from people who have no courtesy and i did search first but with the keywords that were used it only came up with like thousands of posts and none of which answered my question. and i do realize i am a noob at modifying my car but everyone is when they first start so big deal. all i needed was a simple answer and thx to everyone
