before you get flamed by the whole world dont do it....the stock one is perfect til you start running high boost (26+psi)....spend your money elsewhere. The IX comes w/ an all metal diversion valve unlike the VIII's did....Its the same valve that was in the JDM MR's and is good on average up to 24-26 psi

I use the HKS EIDS on my 03 and yes it did correct the stalling and idle dropping issue of running a VTA BOV(car came with it). I have heard the ECU on the 9's will correct it for you so there is no need for it. I would try it without and see if does what you want. The worst that will happen is it might stall. Another easy way to get the sound with out running into any issues is to change the air intake to a open element filter.

thanx man for the info. does it hurt performance at all? or does it just make the car stall? cuase if all it does is make the car stall i can deal with it. but i dont want to hurt the performance any

I assume you mean running a VTA without a HKS EIDS? If so yes stalling or RPM dropping is the only thing the EIDS corrects. It only does it if you were tached up and put the clutch in fast like coming to a stop all of a sudden. That is when you see issues with the stalling that is what the EIDS corrects. In all truthfulness you still have the issue of going real rich everytime the BOV goes off due to the metered air being released when the MAF expects it to be there. The EIDS does not help with that. I would say the richness created by the VTA is going to affect performance but for street use it never becomes a factor IMHOP.
