Why and when do you need to upgrade the stock BOV?
If I was to replace the stock exhaust and intake air filter with aftermarket TBE, dp, tp/hfc, and drop-in filter and get a tune...when and why will the stock BOV be needing to be upgraded? Need your reasons and help with BOV with above mods please.

yep
my first mod was a boost guage, followed several days later by the JDM valve. It holds boost better with less taper at the top. Must have for Evo 8.

if im not mistaken though even the ones on our IX's will start to leak once you exceed 25 psi. so if you plan on pushing more than that then i would upgrade to an even better one than the JDM BOV found on the IX
