blow off valve???best??
i must b the only person who didnt like my greddy type s, i dunno jus didnt perform the way i wanted. i got alot of surge. doesnt turbosmart make a dual bov where some goes back to intake n some to atmosphere?
If your boosting less the 25lbs, then the stock IX DV is fine. In case you dont know the different between a DV and a BOV and why a BOV isnt that great on a EVO........
A DV recirculates the excess air back into the intake tract. A BOV blows off the excess air into the atmosphere, making the swish sound.
On the EVO a BOV is not a good idea. The MAF sensor measures the air coming into the engine at the beginning of the intake tract. A BOV releases some of this measured air out of the intake system, making some of the ECU calculations off.

Your Euromarket IX MR has the factory metal diverter valve fitted as standard equipment, right? If so, then this factory metal DV is considered to be the best thing available up until about 25 PSI. Above 25 PSI you may want to consider an upgrade. Otherwise stick with the factory piece.
I had this same exact question when I got my EVO a few months back because I also love the sounds of a BOV. I talked to the chaps @ SpeedElement and when I got my TT installed purchased an HKS drop in filter and I can definetely hear my DV now
