well this topic was probably discussed before but there so much options ..
i want to get a bov and hook my car up but one thing there is no shop where i can get my parts tune ...reading all these stuff on how messing around with the air box and bov ,vta and different answer from everyone ...is really comfussing .. So what should i get ..without driving miles an miles just to tune my car where i can do it myself .. i like the hks ssq ver 2 but so much problems ....reason why i like the hks ..love to see my bov on top .....so if there is any solution out there on what to do without those problems ...please help........yeah i kno that this is probably the billion post on this subject but hey we all own evos and we all need to stick together ...what should i get ..what is the first step ....oh i have an evoix se..so what is the best .....i kno alot about hondas but **** about mits...

 

keep the one you have, that is the best one for ur car completely stock. BUT... if you wanna sound like your car belongs in the fast and the furious, get the hks. Its ur car, make ur decision.

 

and moving....

 

you already have a bov..why would you want it any louder? If you havent noticed..the majority of the people that have the loud a$$ bov's are idiots that want attention.!! But back to the question...hks if i was going to do it.!

 

The stock IX dv is fine.

I have the stock plastic piece of crap but will be changing that soon.

Best bov, Forge>APS recirc

If you mod to the point of running no maf then I would get either the HKS or a Tial.

G/L and put your flame suit on.

 

stick with the stock one... it holds up to 25 psi of boost

 

Yes it has. Many, many, many painful times. Please search and read.

Its not confusing. You do not need a new DV. We replace them when they stop working or meeting our needs.

There is no different answer for VTA - not for Evos (unless you have standalone MAP...)

Again, you need nothing. Boston - you are near many shops. Check out the regional forum, vendors, others from your area...

HKS is one of the worst BOVs for Evos. VTA or recir. it should not be used unless you are a guru. Advance search VTA by Malibujack - aka guru or SmikeEvo, I know I have written about this a lot.

??? See your BOV....... ....... solution -- yep - open the hood, stare at it all you want....but that is one strange fetish...or get one and put it on your desk, then you can stare at it all day...

hondas are not mitus -- listen you already admit there are many post on this subject - why did you start one? Please search and read, search and read...

 

you have a 9 bov.. stick with it.. only change when you going to be running more boost than 25+...

 

go fast bits bov is one of the best ones on the market today for evo vlll and lx

 

9 or MR is fine. i have Greedy RS i love it.

 

thanks guys for all the reply but the thing is there is no shop it might say i live in boston ma. but i live in town around there ...an dude i have cows and deers turkeys roaming my yard so its the country .... i love my evo ..just want to maintain my car ..just any answers on that or solution to help me out ....plus i dont like tat whsooopps sound just thought gettin a bov would help my car out preformance wise ...

 

Actually getting a bov on a stock car usually causes problems.

 

I run a APS. Not one problem with it. Stock drivability and it sounds good.

 

Maintaining your car are things like oil changes, tire rotation, and upkeep. You are talking about power upgrades. TBE, MBC, flash -- those help performance. A DV will not help performance. Unless you are running high psi and the stocker no longer can hold it - which you are not. I strongly suggest searching and reading about the usual upgrade path for the IX. Or by calling up AMS or TurboTrix (ask for Mike). And talk to those shops about performance mods.

So there are not many shops near me either. TT is in NJ so that is not really far from you. And I know there are shops in Boston. So it looks like you will have mod via mail or the drive a little route.

PS - Evos make cross country drives fun

 

just get an intake if you to hear your bov.
