My evo X is being put together as we speak.. my girlfriend bought me the car as well as all the upgrades...

I got the AP garret gt35r twin scroll turbo kit
Kelford stage 2 cams
ARC intercooler
Blitz Nur R spec exhaust
Greddy turbo timer
HKS SSQV BOV

just to name a few do I need a recirculation kit for the turbo or is that unneccessary?

and yes my girlfriend is awesome lol.. just want to give her the credit

 

I would recommend it unless you are running an ems or fconn... stock ecu with detect improper air flow from VTA.. awesome G/F btw.. does she have a sister?

 

he's obviously gonna get it tuned. So vta should be alright.

 

so i dont need the recirc kit because the ecu will get tuned for the turbo kit anyway right?

 

yea we wanna know if she's got a sister

 

No, tuning alone doesn't mean you can vent your bov. You'd have to be running speed density that eliminates the mass airflow sensor.

 

yes she has 4 sisters but 2 are maried the other engaged and i think the other has a boyfriend sorry guys lol..

so i do need the recirc kit or no..?

 

Yes!

 

I would certainly recommend one for drivability purposes. You can run VTA but it will not be smooth.

 

alright thank you guys for all your help

 

thanks for the info on the girls too lol!! kidding... is there a speed density set up for an evo x ??

 

^Prolly man but is it worth it? Just to run VTA and make a lot of noise?

 

heck try both and see for yourself which one works best!!!

 

I would do recur, you lose at least 300-500 rpm if you were to run VTA. Also, the ride isn't as good.
