How is that

 

Most manufactures BOV's which vent to atmosphere (HKS) cause Evo's to run like crap. Stock they use a recirculating BOV + the stock IX BOV has no boost leak issues so there really is no need to change it unless you go big turbo.

As for intakes, most cause problems with the MAF + the stock airbox with a drop in is good for around 350WHP.

The quoted posters point was that anyone familiar with Evo's knows not to mess with either of those things unless your making big power. 360WHP is not big power on a IX.

EDIT: Also I don't understand why every Evo on here get's stomped. All they need to spend is around $3-600 in used parts and they are around 330-350WHP tuned.

 

hells yeah BOOSTFTW!!!!

 

not sure what that means....my brother had an EVO 8 w/ a loud BOV, and ran high 11's on street tires?!

 

^^ it means recirculating the BOV provides more power, better drivability and is not ricer.

 

right, but my point was that there are plenty of real-deal fast EVO's out there w/ loud BOV's, so the statement was

 

Real fast Evo's aren't putting down 360WHP. That's more than easy to do with Stock Turbo/BOV. The average Evo on the street right now with a "Loud" BOV isn't making power, they install it to fulfill their ricer dreams.

This guy is running a Forge RS BOV, no need for sneezing while you drive down the street even at 450WHP.

Well, your point about anyone w/ an Evo running a BOV not recirculating = having no idea what they are doing doesn't stand up all the time is my point (hence my bro's 11 second EVO)

 

^^ if he wasn't running it he may have done it with less mods
