And by the way, the stock valve is not a Blowoff valve (BOV). It's a Bypass valve. Very different things.

Just because you can boost at 19 PSI, doesn't mean it's holding 19 PSI. I ran my Eclipse at 17 PSI on the stock BOV, the big difference was when I upgraded it was in the boost response.

I'm talking about people ruining there stock setup just for a SUPER dumped look. The car might look crazy dumped, but it probably handles like worse then stock.
I have a GTO TT (VR4) and I've been tempted to lower my car several times. but I have Electronic Controlled Suspension. With a push of a button I can have a soft touring style ride, or I can have a sport (Better grab a oh **** handle!) aggresive ride.
Now even though I have a world of fender gap, I know that if I lower my car, it will look good, but handle like crap... my ecs will still think the suspension is at stock height.
(The above statement is for VR4 models only-Base and SL models can scrape the floor if they wanted too.)
My only true option is 18 or 19 inch rims and MAYBE a 1 inch spring drop.

but if you were to go to an open atmosphere BOV (HKS SSBV style) you WILL notice increased boost response (Which will give a feeling of more power and better acceleration).
I fitted a Blitz SSDD BOV. Love the sound, love the response.

No I haven't driven an EVO, since they are not out yet and I didn't import one like you. This was an assumption and I guess I stand corrected, I've had a couple of people tell me it's the same as a 2G and I heard of people turning them around to hold more boost.
Just because you can boost at 19 PSI, doesn't mean it's holding 19 PSI. I ran my Eclipse at 17 PSI on the stock BOV, the big difference was when I upgraded it was in the boost response.
