HELP evo 8 low Power question
so I just got my car tuned from db performance here in Minnesota. It's an Evo 8 2.4l e85 FP black. The car only made 365 and they're saying its because it has a 1g dsm bov on it and the bov is restricting it? Can someone explain from research this build should be 500+.

That BOV is probably leaking..

I assume you are not running a maf. If so, get a tial and call it a day with a re tune. That 1g DSM bov prob leaks like crazy. Heck even a crushed 9 bov hold better than a plastic bov.

Another question.. Since I'm kinda broke atm. So If I replace the bov with another one that could hold higher boost would I be able to just turn up the boost without getting the car retuned?

Honestly you chose the shop that they tuned you as it is.they knew it's not gonna work but kept tuning. Saddens me when you simply want customers money only.

Especially a leak test. plus, why would anyone go to get tuned with OP build on a stock 1G DV?

not always the case. people go in with their mods already installed for a tune. they tune it as it sits so it isnt really their fault imo. the owner of the vehicle should know what he has or should i say it is the owners responsibility to do all checks prior to tuning. check it here: http://www.dbptuning.com/main/dyno-checklist/

The BOV should have leaked if they were doing a boost leak test to proper pressures.
