so i wana get the matte black HKS SSQV on my evo IX but it only comes in a universal kit. i recently installed an AEM short ram intake with the stock blow off valve. does anyone know if the universal kit will fit on tha aftermarket intake or will i have to get the vehicle specific kit. this is my first time buyin a bov so im not really sure. any help wud be great cuz i hella want tha black one instead of the normal silver one.

 

Whats wrong with your stock DV?

 

Keep the stock DV don't waste your money PLEASE

nothings wrong with the stock one, just kinda liked the sound of the hks haha is the stock one better for performance?

 

Do yourself a favor; kill the ricer within you now. Evo's do not respond well to BOVs. Especially if they vent 100% atmospherically. The stock IX diverter valve (aka JDM MR diverter valve) is a very capable and inexpensive solution. The IX diverter is metal and can handle 25 psi without any issue. You will experience very limited, if any drive ability issues. Partial throttle situations will be manageable and not violent.

* If you have an VIII, do yourself a favor and get a IX diverter valve.
* Don't be a ricer, unless you have an aftermarket ecu then stick with a recirculated diverter.
* Aftermarket diverters tend to have partial throttle issues and will never be as daily driving friendly as the stock IX diverter.

Many other places to better put your money.

ha sounds like a waste of money then, thanx guys

 

yes it is. I had a car with a standalone, so I was able to vta with no issues. I had the HKS racing Type 2, iirc. It was nice, but honestly I got tired of the sound after a while. the stock IX dv is a great piece so save your money for mods that actually make your car faster.

 

haha ya i bet the lil pshhhf noise wud get a little bit annoying, kool more money saved then

 

Yeah I made the mistake and bought a Forge one and it became an expensive
paper wieght and now have a stock IX one on my VIII, which does ok for my
boost levels
