Turbosmart BOV
Ok, yes I did search but did not find exactly what I was looking for so I figure ask here .........
How does this BOV compare with other involving car stalling and being able to hear it swoooooosh outside the car when you rev your engine?????

I have that BOV, and it sounds great!! You can definitely hear the swoosh. I only stalled twice since the 5 months I've had it, but that was stupidity on my part....coming off a high rev tryin to impress someone and not watching my idle. At first I had a few times when it would be lean on the idle but never really low. I can't really speak for other BOV's but thought I'd put in my 2 cents on this one. It fits perfectly where the stock BOV used to be...it's maybe a 15 minute install. As with any VTA, you have to watch idle when coming off a hard rev, but it's only a slight adjustment to driving style. If you can drive your car right, you won't have idle issues.

It used to go for $350 when it first came out. Does that price above that you mentioned include the flange? The retail price for the BOV is $229.00 and the flange if you need it is $21.00. The shipping is around $7.00 so it is right around the price you gave. I would suggest emailing Mark at Hass Autoworks...

The turbosmart is a direct drop in, that requires no adapters. The gentleman that had it stall on his car twice in a year, he needs to adjust the BOV. This BOV has worked flawlessly on several of my cars. The Tial BOV is a fully atmosphereic BOV that will cause the car to run rich and possibly set a CEL. Turbosmart all the way!

If you get the Evo-specific BOV, then it'll bolt right on.
I had it on for about 3 months, stalled only twice. The occasional erratic idle and potential stalling don't bother me....but during part-throttle release, it causes compressor surge and makes a fluttering sound. I tried to release the spring tension but it never solves the problem.

Also I do not have any mods at all to my EVO nor do I want any at this time. I just want to be able to hear the BOV more without having stalling issues and this seems to be a perfict match. I own a car with turbo so I want to be able to hear it!!!!!!!!!!
