Thanks u should be flattered....inspired by riding in urs.

 

hehe you got that at allison right? my buddy and i test drove it, but he settled on a Grey MR SE.

 

Yeah, I saw you saturday night. I drove in my friends old 4Runner. I was about to say "hey" to you, but I thought I might look like a dork since I wasn't driving my own car. Looks great in person.

 

Yeah? Cool, ive so far only seen one evo drive with me, it was a red 8, with no right headlight. So far i could never be in the right area to say hey. I have one question, my first mod........Where did u guys get a blowoff valve (re-circulating) and SRI at that doesnt cost $400?? Lookin to do this in the next week. Thanks

 

leave it. stock 06 blow off valves are awesome. i had a crappy hks one and the 06 bov i have now is much better at holding boost.

 

You think so? I mean i cant barely hear the stock BOV, but if you think its better to hold psi, then maybe i will leave it. I would like to have a recirculating one though.

 

If you are that interested in sound buy my K&N filter or get a good intake. Trust me everyone knows your car is fast and a loud blowoff valve that is VTA will make your car run worse. Spend the money on a quality TBE with o2 housing and a tune, and you'll have more fun than a obnoxious BOV

 

Is your K&N a complete set or just a drop in filter? How much would a TBE run thats good and a tune? Who around here even does this tuning for an evo?

 

Are u sure the 06 IX comes with a stock BOV?

 

Yes definitely comes with a BOV. And my K&N is a drop in used it for about 1500 miles. $25.

 

OK I did alittle looking around in the engine bay last night, found the stock bov. My question is if i can replace the stock BOV with something better without replacing the entire intake system? Is this possible or do i need some special kind of flange.

 

A BOV is a waste of money. The only reason I have my HKS one on my car is because I got it for free (long story). The only time you should replace your BOV is when your running more psi and start to have boost leak, and that happens around 25psi (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Like everyone has been saying, your first mods should be a TBE with a tune. Those are the biggest bang for buck mods everyone should do.

Speaking of newbies, Whats everyone doing friday night? Does everyone want to meet up at In-N-Out at around, oh, lets say 1030?

 

Ok, yeah well maybe just a K&N Drop in will do for now and then maybe TBE......but who does tuning here thats reliable? Im in for 1030 at south or north in n out dont matter.

 

nobody around here knows how to tune evo's. you gotta drive to the bay area for a good tune. I recommend speed element or vishnu

 

I'm down for friday or saturday. I saw a red evo on mccarren and pyramid way yesterday sounded like it had an intake cause I could hear the turbo spool and it had a bunch of gauges. Was that anyone on here?
