you will need a recirculating kit that greddy sells for EVOs.

personally, I really wouldnt recommend this BOV... I still have it in my car... it runs fine and holds boost time but OVERTIME, you will tend to see the diaphragm needs replacement, and will end up leaking. I ended up getting my type-s repaired and now theres no more leaks. I can hold up to 25 psi just fine.

I dont know if you are getting this BRAND NEW.... the type-S models are discontinued so I am guess you are getting them used... if you end up getting it.. make sure you get the diaphragm replaced. Its like a $80 part. after that should be no worries for another 2-3 years.

you can go on the greddy website and purchase that diaphragm there.

On that note, why not grab an Evo IX valve? They are metal and hold boost unlike the VIII. A lot of people run the Forge valve as well.
