Just got my evo and need some help!
Hi guys and gals,
I just picked up an 04 evo (my 2nd one, I had one 2 years ago as well)
! This one has a lot of mods, including: Exedy Carbon Fiber Triple Disc Clutch, Borla 3 Inch Turbo Back Stanless Exhaust, AEM Ram Air Intake, HKS 280 Cams, HKS Adjustable Cam Gears, 8lb Light Flywheel, 660ci Injectors, Super AFC II Air Fuel Controller, ARP Titanium Head Studs And Bolts, Halman Boost Controller, 3" Borla Downpipe With Heat Wrap, Tein 2" Pro Kit, Upper Intercooler Pipe, Greddy Type S Blow Off Valve, walbro pump.
So, the issue is that the car currently has an idle problem
. I have scheduled a tune at AMS, but can't get in until June because they are so booked! So, my current fix is going to install less aggressive cams prior to the retune (Buddy clubs). This should help the idle a lot, but I'm also worried that the BOV might not be set up for recirc. The car arrives tomorrow and I will check it out. But in the mean time can someone post pics of how a recirc BOV set up should look? I just want to verify where the vaccuum hose from the BOV should go to.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm sure you can search to find around 1000 posts, many of which have pics showing a recirculating BOV, but even if you never saw a pic, you could tell from common sense. If it's VTA, it only connects to the UICP on one side and vents to air on the other side. If it has 2 connections, one to the UICP and one to the intake tract, then it's recirculating. Do you remember what your stock Evo setup looked like?
