I thought the 05 VIII had most of the IX "upgrades." I don't know for sure, regardless you either have the stock 05 VIII bov or a IX bov.

If this picture works, this is what it should look like:

I just swapped out my bov from my 2005 for a Forge Bov and it was metal. I thought it was suppose to be plastic... So the question is did the 2005 Evo 8 have metal or a plastic bov?
mines an 05 and i had the plastic BOV then upgraded to HKS

Good to know about the 05, Rob. I guess the bov didn't get upgraded for the 05 model.

Old owner probably swapped in the IX valve for the stock VIII. Its not as popular now since there are a couple of aftermarket valves that can hold decent boost and still drive like stock.

like Jordon and I have said EVOs = New DSMs, this is a conversation much related to 1G and 2g dsms, 1Gs had metal BOVs, and 2Gs had the crappy plastic.

I think I'm doing double-duty-drinking at the bar this coming weekend. Talking about some burgers at Red Mill or Lunchbox Laboratory and then karaoke at the Liquid Lime with the North Evo peeps on Saturday (everyone is welcome though, just look at the Northend meet sticky), and then it is my bro's bday on Sunday and I had invited him to the Liquid Lime a few weeks back to celebrate.

The superbowl party I went to was meh. A bunch of people not really into the game while about 2 of us were. Bad seating setup, bunches of kids, I should've just stayed home.

How about you?

Hey Josel, so you ended up gettin a Perrin intake? Did the guy with the Samco pipe just fall off the face of the earth? I haven't driven enough since I put my intake on to really know if it affected my fuel economy. I'm thinking it'll go down though cuz I find myself mesmerized by the loud sucking noise everytime I hit the gas pedal now
