Eh, i think you have been smoking a little too much of the fresh green : )

actually sebba you have to remember the stock evo BOV is very similiar to the 2g BOV. It is a POS. They are plastic and leak boost like crazy. Stock boost of an evo is around 18psi. But mikes would spike 18 and then it would drop to 15psi. They are horrible. So putting a new BOV on an evo is usually one of the first things people will do to be able to hold that boost. So yes its normal to feel the car alittle faster with the new BOV.

hey yeah. the engineer, thats what im feelin. its the fact the new bov is holdin the boost where its at instead of going back down. i remember when i was drivin with the stock bov, when i reach a certain boost level, the stock bov wouldnt hold it there, it would drop back down. and on the greddy bov, it seems like it would hold the boost level better than the stock bov. i think thats the only reason why i feel a little more power to the car. sorry guys for such a dumb question.

Seb its def what happens. the Evo VIII stock BOV is so bad that yes a new BOV will help spool a little quicker and of course hold boost higher in turn making the car faster. just go listen to my videos of before the BOV and after you can eve hear the difference up top in the exhaust note. (of course Im talking pre turbo upgrade and cams)
