You should never run the stocker as a VTA it opens a little at idle and is made with a vain to leak boost for safty purposes. But you can run any other BOV in VENT the choise is really about what sound you want and the leak factor some sound great but leak. I have found the Go Fast Bits works the best for my setup right now but I do like the HKS sound. Some EVO 8-9 owners have changed from MAF to MAP when they got a custom block so they can VTA with no problems. But if your going for a HKS I would only buy from a trusted site like lancershop.com because so many fakes out there it can be hard to tell but if you find one for under $200 it's prob fake.

Well if you decide that you want to purchase a BOV...I liked my turbo smart. sounded great. Hence the word "liked"...the pin inside went bad and now all it does is makes a flutter noise

I would not even waste my money on it in a MR because it is a auto manu you don't lift your foot off the gas thus the plate does not close during shifts to make it go off.
So if you want to hear the noise you would have to take your foot off the gas every shift which will cause the car to jurk when you put it back down agen.
Stick with stock it's good for up to 24-26 psi and since you can't hear the noise any way it would just be a waste of money. If you wanted the BOV sound you should have got the GSR 5 speed then every time you clutched it would go woosh.

I love the HKS SSQV sound, and i use it on my VG30DETT. I dont know why HKS failed to do a great job for the evo's. So im actually going to buy the turbosmart and incorporate the fitting from the HKS BOV and put it on the turbosmart.
If anything im probably going to cut from the snout of the turbosmart and make my own version of a hybrid HKS/Turbosmart. Ill upload pictures when i finish the project.
the fitting im talking about is this:

I run that purple fine on mine, it sounds like stock but a little louder
I've ran the HKS SSQV on all three of my X's with no issue
The Turbosmart Dual Port is a joke, I got CEL's like crazy with it. Half in/half out is like turning up the rice.
