what did you guys replace your BOV with?

the vacume nipple on mine broke off, so now i need a BOV.






blow off valve

 

Get one from an 06 IX MR...it's metal and supposed to be good to 28 psi or so, especially if it's "crushed" so they say. Mine isn't crushed and I haven't had any problems. You might be able to find a used one on here somewhere.

 

I assume since the nipple broke, you have an evo 8 (plastic) bov.

Well what are your plans for the car? If you are keeping the oem turbo then all you will need it an evo IX (metal) bov. There are a few used ones for sale in the for sale section, that is where I bought mine.

 

yep, evo 8

what about a nonrecurculating?


i hate to ask this, but can i just get a ebay one? or does it need to be quality?

 

The nipple broke off on mine and I found a metal piece that fit heated it up put it on and used some type of rubber glue my boy had did a boost leak test and it's fine worked for me

 

You need to recirculate since or else the car will run like crap. And stay away from ebay BOV's. Even if you can make it recirculate you will suffer with poor driveway. It will operate more like an on off switch which will result in a jerky and annoying car to drive. Find yourself a nice used DV in the classifieds section and you wont regret it.

 

if you search this topic, you will find numerous posts about evos non responding well to vta bovs. stick to recirculating!

do not get an ebay one, it is an essential part that deals with the turbo which you do not want to fail. get a used ix bov for like $100 or new for like $120.

 

Get a recirc. Check out the marketplace, you should find quite a few in there

 

Don't get an ebay one. Get an OEM 9 bov, you can get one for $70 or so. I'm sure there's a few people on here who have one for sale. You should post in the WTB section.

 

get the aps bov

 

thanks guys!!!

 

of course you can always just buy another plastic 8 bov. If your not planning to raise your boost, it should be fine. Also, it will will be an order of magnitude cheaper.

 

Get a IX bypass valve and be done with it.
