Some specific questions
I just got my Evo last week and it's so different from my previous cars (low power Toyota's) I looked around the forum (especially for the second question) and I couldn't find quite the answer I was looking for so I'm just going to ask here.
1. Is an Evo X's flywheel considered light? Or is it heavy? I noticed that the revs drop slower when compared to an FR-S or AE86, is this why? (Driving at normal speeds). This one is just a curiosity as it helps me a lot with shifting up.
2. The only 2 mods I'm planning on the near future is a BoV and a HKS Hi-Power Exhaust. Now I read from here that changing the exhaust shouldn't require a tune, but what about a BoV?
Also, when I let my foot off the gas, I notice the car shutters a bit, is that due to the built up pressure? Would a BoV help this? (Even if not, I still want one. Need that PSSSSH in my life.)
Thank you, I'm obviously new to this so any help is greatly appreciated!

1. The stock flywheel is like 13lbs. I feel like you need the RPMS when shifting gears if your WOT to stay in boost.
2. Stock BOV is fine. IMO you would be wasting money. I would just rather get a Intake if you want to hear the 'Flutter'. Technically when your changing parts, you should tune. Maybe start with a Cobb tuner if your not comfortable tuning your self or take it some where to tune you.

Changing the intake would allow me to hear the blow-off flutter? I was looking into a Injen or AEM later on, but I know that requires tuning afterwards so I might as well do both at the same time. Thank you for the advice

Heavier flywheels help street driven car with shifting. Helps the synchros and prevents “blocking you out of a gear” lighter flywheels are used in drag or racing applications because they are easier to rev for 1 and 2 they are shifting in high rpm all the time and don’t need the weight down low. To answer your BOV question if you get a BOV that is still 100% recirculating you will be fine with no tune but to get your loud “pshhh” sound you need something that vents at least 50%... i would do a intake, boost controller, and bov when your ready for a tune...

The loudest intake to hear the PSSSHH would be the Apexi one for the Evo X. It has a long aluminum MAF section that tends to echo out the PSSHH sound. Your car shouldn't be studdering or bucking. If you have issues, solve that first before you go changing & upgrading stuff.

Now I just have to find someone to tune it after installing it, but if it really is that loud, I don't have to worry about getting in trouble for having a VTA haha
