I had the APS for ~10k miles and never had any problems. Definitely recommend it but they are kind-of pricey.

 

yes, the stock ones that are plastic do leak...that's why everyone likes the JDM one.

i say you stick with the JDM bov.

 

I have the JDM MR, but it doesnt like 28psi with my turbo =( I hear the compressor slam every time I shift WOT.

 

greddy type s is very loud for recirc. used to have that, now have an APS.. its very quiet in comparison

 

I have the turbosmart dual port bov. Never had any stalling problems. Or any problems really. I like it

 

Alright I have the turbosmart dual port too...but if you flip it over and install it the other way it doens't vent atmosperically but then it recircs right? I no longer want the sound but stilll want to use my turbosmart...so how do I amke it 100% recirc?

To original poster, I also wanted that sound when I 1st got my evo......though we change, not want to impress others anymore, want that power between shifts, or whatever. If you want a nice bov with no problems then the turbosmart dual port in nice. Good luck!

 

I also got the turbosmart dual port and have no problems with it. It definitely attracts attention if that's what you are after. It even makes my neighbors dog run for cover every time i blowby. You can set it harder or softer with just an easy turn of the knob, depending on your mood. It comes with a small rectangular metal cover that you insert to the cone vent if you want to recirculate 100%. Personally i like it a lot.

 

Boostingevo8 heres the pix of the cover vents that you were asking.

 

With the BOV attached to my evo.

 

mine did... then I went with APS and haven't had any problems since.

 

aps. loven it. only thing is i would put a lil tefflon tape around the ajuster threads. otherwize. perfect. great sounding as well

 

Thank you so much for the pics. I am going back to the shop where I bought my bov since I did not even get those pieces.......all I got was the actual bov. However the employee who sold it to me got caught stealing from the shop so I assume he stole the bov and then sold it to me and kept the cash......or else I should have gotten all the packing too...... Damn newbie mistakes I swear, lol.

 

Go with the turbosmart bov man it does both of the things at the same time.
i actually just put mine on yesterday sounds sick but not sure what to do about tightening it if it makes a different noise or what i kno u tighten the spring when runnning alot of boost though

 

can you get the aps bov flanged?

 

update: uhhhh thanks ive had the turbosmart bov now for several months haha
