I have grown up in the DSM world, begining with the 1g Talon, moving to the 2g Eclipse, and finally, my Evo X. The one aspect that I miss with my Evo is actually hearing the turbo spool up when you punch it.

I had a lot of aftermarket on my previous rides, so I am relatively experienced with standard mods. Currently, I just have exhaust on my Evo. If I were to go with a hard pipe intake, would I get back a little more of that turbo spool sound at all with the Evo? How about the recirc bov? I am not looking to vent at all and get total Fast and Furious woosh, but the recirc sound off the pipes was always one of my favorites.

I am guessing going with hard piping will help all of this out, but I wanted to be sure before dropping the coin. Thanks in advance.

 

I believe I remember hearing people say that if you replace your stock air filter with a cone air filter, you'll be able to hear the turbo spool.

But of course I could be mistaken, don't have an evo yet.

 

Switching to an open element cone filter will definitely enhance the stock bov sounds.

Add in a metal or silicone intake inlet, and it will be pretty audible.

At first, I just attached a 3in cone filter directly onto my MAF housing. If you search these forums, you'll definitely find the how to. This mod also only costs ~50 bucks for the filter. You can also go with a more professional looking MAF adaptor + filter, such as the Cobb SF intake. Then add in a cobb intake inlet. Total price is around $200.

Of course you can always just go with a full intake, such as ETS, K&N, AEM, or AMS. However, these options will cost $230+.

 

Go with an ETS Intake and you will have all the tubro sucking and blowing you will ever want.

 

I have the ets intake in my evo and eeerrmmaggawwddd ...its rediculous spool. you love it. and of course i scored my ets intake off the forum for a good price and pretty much flawless when i got it. scored for it 150 shipped!

 

I have ordered an ETS intake, Upper and lower pipes I currently have a Turbo smart BOV (recirc) the woosh is cool the spool i will let you know in about 2 weeks when all my goodies get installed and car is tuned!

 

Even an aftermarket panel filter and it will make the BOV and turbo louder.

 

^the box is what really kills the sound, a pannel filter wont do much

I have the AEM intake and with the lid on I don't get much turbo sound. with the lid off its very noticable.

 

Sounds like an ETS is the way to go, exactly what I'm looking for. Any recommendations on where to order from?

 

I have the ETS intake and It definitely makes a lot of noise when it spools.
Even with stock turbo.
