Found it under the hood, sorry for all these noob questions... I am guessing it is a boost controller?

Thanks

 

Correct.

 

yep boost controller.

 

hallman boost controller

 

uhhuh

 

Wouldnt mounting it on top of the fan shroud mess with the dialing of boost everytime the turn on and vibrate ? Just my guess.

 

Awesome, sorry for all the new threads, im trying to know all the info I can about what the car currently has... I cannot find the BoV but it is clear that it has one.... it sounds front left while driving but its hidden pretty damn good...

 

Its there, I can see it in the second pic, top left hand corner.
Also in the first pic, directly to the right of where the boost controller is in the pic. Im assuming you have an 8?

 

The DIVERTER VALVE as it is called in a recirc setup is in the red circle. It is commonly refered to as the blow off valve, either term is considered correct.

Is this the BoV?

 

Awesome guys, thanks a ton.

Yeah it is an Evo 8 - I am now trying to figure out the exhaust kit brand, and what exactly it is , it was advertised as "full exhaust kit" A friend said he thinks he sees a downpipe but isnt sure.

 

thats funny to me. its either a curvy heatsheild surrounded little pipe or a SS fat pipe whats their to think. look under your car.

 

make sure you have a decent boost gauge if you are running the MBC to make sure it is not turned too high.

 

there are two boost gauges, a double pod with the wideband a/f and a boost above the steering wheel (replaces the stock cover) and then what i think is the evo9 stock gauges (3 pack labeled mitsu motors) under the thermostat controls -

What should the boost be? Anyone familiar with that type of BOV? it appears to be nameless ...

 

Your BOV is stock and your boost should be set to whatever the car is tuned for...dont want to go cranking that thing up and cause some real damage
