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:

If this picture works, this is what it should look like:
03-04 Evos had the plastic BOV
05 Evos had metal bov?
06 Evo 9 had a different metal bov?
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?

^lmao!
BTW - you guys coming down this weekend? We might try to do burgers and karaoke!
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.

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?
and it will be hearts day this weekend. im still debating if i should go with you guys to ER or just get a emailed retune.
i installed perrin intake and i think my a/f is kind of messed up. fuel economy is down.
and i have ets uicp and licp that needs to go on teh evo.
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
hahah i know what you mean. (gas), ssuuuuuuupppphhh (shift) psssishhhhhh!!!
