HKS SSQ BOV or not

hey guys i have a evo 9 mr with a 20g turbo and a apexi afc neo with a street tune on it and i was curious if a new bov would mess up my idle because some people told me it does... i also have a tsudo tbe and am planning to get GSC stage 1 cams and a turbo timer within a month.

Or should i get one of the ones that dumps into the intake and into the atmosphere

if you have the Stock plastic BOV that comes on the 03 and 04 evos .. than you should consider a JDM MR BOV

if you have the Steel Bov which normally comes on the MR models and also 06 Evo IX .. than no need to change the BOV because the steel bov can hold up a bit over 25 psi.

My IX MR is peaking 28psi and holding 26psi... no problems so far
If you want, get a forge RS or TiAL or whatever. No SSQV though

I suggest you take off that neo afc and sell it and get a flash. Then spend your money on parts that work.

All you need is turboback, intake, tune, meth and you are set. I would aslso recommend an 02 housing, exhaust manifold, larger intercooler and intercooler pipes. The cams will yield some power too but none of them have produced numbers for me to jump on them just yet. I would get all the bolt on done first.

I have the HKS SSQV ver.2 Evo specific with recirc kit and the car runs fine and holds boost well. I'm not sure why everyone bashes it but in multiple magazines this BOV has held boost with the best of them. If you want sound to blow off at ppl then get another one.
