Question Need some help

Okay I need someone to help me out without ripping my head off or flaming me. I just got my EVO X GSR 2 months ago and I'm a total noob to modding/tuning.

Okay here we go. I'm looking to purchase the following mods for my car but not quite sure so I need some pro's opinions.

Currently on my car I have a CatBack Exhaust,Cold Air Intake and a tune.

I am looking to buy

and either ETS Mitsubishi Evo X and Evolution X Dump O2 Eliminator Downpipe OR ETS Mitsubishi Evo X and Evolution X Recirculated O2 Eliminator Downpipe Now my dilemma is I need to know which on of those ETS downpipes will support my Turbosmart Dual Port BOV? One says it's for atmosphere wastegate dump and the other recirculated wastegate dump. Please help

The wastegate and blow off valve aren't related at all so you can mix/match as you please. I personally opted for a recirculated downpipe since the external dump ones are loud and obnoxious. Make sure you recirculate your BOV too, do not vent to atmosphere.

You will need a retune with these parts.

if you want to sound like a jet engine taking off go with the ets dump o2 if you dont, then get the recirculated one. as for the test pipe regular one will do just fine but you can get the highflow one.

As for the your BOV being supported the only thing you need to pay attention is the fitment and get recirculated. If you want to hear the dump o2 dp with highflow cat and v2 regular just let me know and I will pm you the sound of it in a tunnel.

edit: I am not obnoxious Kracka! haha.

I think I might return the TurboSmart BOV and just stick with the stock one... I wanted a little more sound than my stock BOV is making but I'm not sure what to do at this moment

I'll have to talk with my tuner tomorrow and ask him what's best for my car.

If you want a louder sound than stock with your bov and want to keep the stock one, get the AMS or ETS intake.... it relocates the stock bov and it DEFINITELY makes it louder.... I honestly didn't know this until I installed my AMS intake... you can hear the turbo spool much louder and the bov as well... not necessarily something I was going for, but non the less, I like it now....

Why are so many people against VTA? That was an MAF issue when people would just throw them on any old car and then run like crap.
If you do decide to go VTA just get the car tuned properly after you do it.

I had my tialQ recommended & welded on by John @ Akuma after I can ran into a BOV problem due to mix and matching piping.
I absolutely wouldn't trade it for the world now. I love it.
While this isn't my car, this is the exact same sound it makes.
