Looking for best price on Evo 9 MR JDM DV. Was deciding between Gruppe and Lancershop. Gruppe had it for $125 for years and Lancershop has it for $149. Now Gruppe has it for $299? That's more than double! Is it a typo? If not, guess I am getting it from Lancershop.

 

^^ why a JDM MR DV? its the same as a USDM IX MR DV....pretty certain. ^^

if you search hard enough... there are a couple used ones in the for sale section. comparable to the MR DV would be a tomei DV valve....and those you can find for about 140-170.

 

I'd rather go with the reliability of OEM. I usually like to buy new and all sites are see are JDM. The US version is plastic where the Japanese is aluminum.
But the point I am making is why Gruppe all of a sudden has it for $300?

 

Yeah, that's a typo for sure....$199 for the "JDM IX BOV" WAH DAH PAK!?!?!

Go to the for sale section on here and you can get one for under $80 bucks in mint condition.
The JDM one and USDM one is the same freaking thing and work the exact same.

So again to the O/P if you want, i suggest go here on the classified and get a IX BOV for wayyyy cheaper than if you're gonna buy it from a Vendor new.

 

$299, Id rather buy new, but not for that much!

 

Okay, that's cool.
I was just trying to save you moneyz. [:

 

to the OP. thats fine you wanna buy new...but the USDM oem IX MR DV is aluminum, not plastic. just an fyi.

and tomei is very reliable...same style DV too. but to each their own. good luck. id just call ur local mitsu dealer for a IX dv.

 

Could be that they were flown over not shipped. They had a thread a while back about this. Maybe thats the reason for the price hike?

 

....The US Evo 9 BOV is NOT plastic. The Evo 8 BOV has plastic parts though.

 

Right, just as all IX DVs are the same. JDM MR DV = USDM IX DV

 

I have them on the shelf, and far less than 299 I might add.
