It's a great product. All you have to do is add an aftermarket ECU where there's no need for one, spend eons tuning, and you have just bought yourself a whistling sound for only ~$5,000. Then, you start a thread, "I think BOV's (sic) sound cool," just so you could tell us all how you know something we don't, because no one in his right mind would go to so much trouble for a chirp. Brilliant. You win again.
For what it is worth, if you don't think that an aftermarket ECU like a HKS F-Con and HKS Valcon add value to a car that is setup to run in Time Attack events then your value to these sort of discussions is limited. In my opinion.

The stock BoV in the X is a good bit of kit, yes.
There is no technical reason why you cannot run a VTA on a stock or aftermarket ECU, and have a car that runs well.
Also, the car in the video sounds pretty cool..... if you like that kind of thing.

you're right there is no TECHNICAL reason....never argued that...i believe i said practical.

Since we agree there is no Technical reason then I should be okay with the VTA, because, practically speaking, the weight saving from not having to install the recirculation pipe is significant!

Anyway, this is all irrelevant. I think the car in the video with the turbo spool and the VTA noise sounds cool. So I was just sharing that with my fellow ricers!!!
You shouldn't be bothered what I think, I've spent over $50k on all that junk in my signature, put a RICE aerokit on my car, and spent over $7000 on street tires/tyres from Turkey!
I'm clearly mental!

quit being a sarcastic ****. it does nothing for yourself. we get the point you have a serious evo x. not many people mod there x's to the extent that you have. which is why a bov isn't the best option for them. fantastic that you love it. i'm so indescribably happy for you.

Probably because with SS brake lines, proper fluid, and a nice set of race pads, our stock braking system is very good. Ask Ryan Gates or the guys at SSP the next time you see their cars why they're running the same brakes and doing fine.
