Stock bov?

+1, that's where I got mine.

However if you're a tightwad and want to save a lot of money, buy a used one from an Evo owner and run up to Autozone to get the vacuum line. Make sure you take the old one in with you so you can get the proper diameter.

I found this one on eBay, but it looks like it's seen better days. Should still get the job done if you want to pick it up.

I'd also check the other forums to see if any members are selling theirs

wow that's stupid cheap.. I got mine for $95 off a Evo X GSR. Mine points towards the radiator fans vs others with the JDM EVO X MR ones. No needs for a longer line for me.

Is there any difference in performance when upgrading to Evo Bov? As far as how the car feels/runs

[GAbOS]

You should feel more from simple axle back upgrades over the BOV. I got a used GSR BOV myself, but for around 60 shipped. Stock vac hose.

No, the only difference you'll notice is that it holds more boost pressure, but you have to be tuned for that to count anyway. Won't give you any power or give you that whoosh sound either.

when you upgrade to the metal BOV. me and my wife both noticed that the boost curve smoothed out, and the car seems to shift smoother. Also it took out the bucking at driving at low speeds ex. 5-10 mph.

Nice! I hate that "bucking" *hit! Answer I was lookin for, thanks

[TrailBrake]

The bucking drives me nuts! If a non-stock bov solves that issue, I am inclined to get one.

That said, this is my first car that is not normally aspirated, so I'm probably more sensitive to power delivery smoothness than most on here.

i switched to an evo one, got one off evox for 60$.

in the quarter mile... it's made more or less zero difference. however the car does feel smoother, and move more evenly. it also sounds better. not much louder, but better. i'd recommend you get one
