Bov intallation problems

[jaybly]

I'm new member and a proud owner of a 2010 evo. I love it. I went to my local motorsports shop and asked about a bov for my evo. They ordered it and it was a Greddy type r. Long story short. I have been there 2 times now because the adaptor that they ordered was the wrong one. I guess they say that the adaptor will go into the intake? But i want to order the correct part and take it down there to them to install. Thanks.

why do a bov? its a waste. unless you want the noise. stock one holds good. my stock one on my old IX (same as X)held 29 psi all day long after crushing it.

i wanted a bov so bad also, for the pshhhhhhhhh sound. but once i put a cone filter on, oh man im glad i didnt waste money on a bov

Seriously, to the OP, dont buy a blow off valve untill you get a cone filter, you will get that sound your looking for without the BOV and the stocker works wonders as is.

+1 on a good cone filter. I've heard some dealers will use a cone filter as a primary reason to kill the warranty; not that it is hard to remove or fight the dealer about. Does the X have any issues with cone filters? I know some cars (I think mostly VIIIs) had stall issues due to the piping?

get an intake or cone!! you can hear the bov sound!!

Agreed. I wasted money on my forge and on my hks. Bro get an intake instead!

Yeah...if you want the sound go with an intake. I actually just went back to the stock setup because the sound was driving me nuts. Every time I'd spool the turbo it sounded like a rush of air in the cabin. Granted hearing the BOV go off was nice but constant sound of rushing air drove me nuts. I still have the injen intake...I'll sell it cheap if you want it.

Thanks all for the reply. That answers my question then. I will return it and try the cone. Thanks!!
