hey guys, i just bought an EVO IX (comin from an SRT-4) and was looking into gettin an HKS BOV. but been reading alot about this recirculation thing. if i bought the BOV, would it be better to get teh recirculation kit? or the EIDS? or both? and if i hook up the recirculation kit... will the BOV still be as loud as if it were VTA? sry bout all the questions but alot of this is new to me... lol on my SRT didnt need to do the whole recirculation thing... but im glad i did make the transition, cuz i love the EVO.

Not sure what the EIDS is but I'm sure it's better to get the recirculation kit. Reason is your MAF sensor accounts for the airfrom the BOV. If you leave the BOVVTA then your car will have moments of rich running and won'tperform as well.
If you have the recirculation kit on your Evo it won't be near as loud as your SRT-4. However, you can purchase an intake, such as Injen, and this will make the BOV louder. Another compromise thatgives you a little bit of both isa BOV that VTA's and recirculates...

How is it you think the BOV will be louder when installing a different intake?
and what BOV's VTA and recirculate?

ok well, i really want an HKS cuz i had a greddy type-S on my srt but wana switch it up a bit... on lancershop.com they make a recirculation kit for the HKS, but they also make a EIDS ( HKS electronic idle stablelizer)says it smooths the signal from the MAS for BOVthat are being VTA. was jus curious if anyone has used it n if they have is it worth buying. or should i jus get the recirculation kit?

well what about greddy type S? i love the way it sounds but i have a feeling with the recirculation kit on it... u wont hear that whole "mechanical type" sound after the blow off. lmao and jus curious i have a greddy evo 2 exhaust would it be a bad move to remove the resonator for more sound?

You shouldn't do it just forsound for ANY car imo.
Reason intakes tend to make the bov's sound louder when they are recirc'd is because most of the time they remove the stock intake box which muffles a lot of the sound.
