You can't vent to aptmosphere if your boost is still around stock level, get a BOV with a recirculate system, I"m running the Greddy type S and it's workin great, but you decide. Just make sure it's a recirc. BOV.

Yes you can... Just get a EIDS(electronic Idle Stabalizer) You can VTA ALL day no stalling or hesatation @ all! its about 125 bucks. HKS makes them.

I'll sell you custom fabricated blow-off valve recirc tube caps... I can even draw a smiley face on it... ship me a bottle of Tylenol and I'll only charge $10. =]

In me and my roomate's evo's, we tried to run a VTA BOV(turboXS), and we stalled all the time at an idle. Our guy that tunes for us said we didn't have a high enough boost to run them and that we should get a Recirc BOV. With the Greddy Type S, no problems at all. But like the guys said earlier you can buy an EIDS($125) and still run a VTA BOV. I must admitt, the TurboXS was LOUD!!!! Scared some people at the bus stop with it all the time, but I am still satisfied with my Greddy Type S. Depends on how much you wanna spend...
