From: in front of your car
if ur EVO VIII is '03-04, then u need the following items:

1) 10.5 hotside- $200 or less if u shop around
2) intake. u didn't mention if u had one but i run a K&N drop-in in the factory airbox- $60 or less.
3) Walbro 255LPH fuel pump is a must have before any tuning can be done effectively- $90 or less.
4) Hallman MBC. there are cheaper Ebay options but these are solid $100 or less.
5) Boost Gauge. i got 1 off ebay for $17shipped-what u pay is up to u but a must have.
Worst case scenario from above u have spent $450. the rest of ur cash can now go towards a tune.

If u have an '05 EVO VIII, then skip step #1 bcuz ur car came with one...

good luck

because they put tons of research into it and no bov will compare to it's partial throttle characteristics

not to mention it's actually a DIVERTER VALVE not a bov
