Evo 9 stock bov
Before you guys can say there is alot of topics on this, im not here to ask which is better or how it works. I just simply want to know if one of you can post a pic showing the bov on an aftermarket ICP/Intake pipe.
I ditched my hks bov as i did not want to bother with all problems you get when vta. I read on how some think there is no proper way on installing a diverter valve aka air by pass valve while others say it does. So i just want to make sure i got it in right.
*Okay I edited the part that don't make sense so it won't confuse anyone anymore lol
Here is a pic of how I installed, which by looking at the one below it looks like I have it wrong.

I read on how some think there is no proper way on installing a diverter valve aka air by pass valve while others say it does. So i just want to make sure i got it in right. Basically the way i see it, looking at the valve through the inlets you can see the pin that opens from one side while on the other side you can see a sealed cap or whatever you want to call it.
Well I believe the pin side needs to point to the IC pipe going to TB while the cap/puck goes to your air intake pipe this being because once the pin is pulled the cap/puck opens thus recirculating air back to air intake or am i wrong?

Alright guys so after driving the car right after I switched the bov the second time I notice a more lighter pedal not literally, but in a quicker response. The only thing that tells me I have it on wrong is that I cannot here the bov anymore. The only thing I could barely hear is if someone had just squeezed a fart....yeah that's the only thing I could hear basically just air. So, I'm going to install the bov to how I had it the first time at least a made a bov sound. And, yes I have an open air filter. I'm still waiting to see if someone else can chime in show or say how its supposed to be installed.
Thanks guys for your cooperation!
