Plus the plastic stock one is lighter than the metal one, right? Weight savings to the extreme.

Will there be any performance increase using the EVO BOV over the stock RA one?

No, they have been tested by RRE and found to perform the same.

I do not like plastic pieces in a turbo charged environment. Over time, heat + plastic = LOSE. So for me, this was a preventive measure and one less thing I will ever have to worry about.

Originally I did some back to back testing on a stock RalliArt and there was no difference. Another car running 20 psi and tapering down also no difference.

I re-did the testing at higher boost levels (over 20 psi) and the EVO X BOV does hold 1.5-2.0 psi at some parts of the rev range. On a tuned RalliArt running with a boost pill it does make a difference. I suspect there are also slight differences between various stock RalliArt and EVO BOVs.

Bottom line... I have an EVO X BOV on my RalliArt now :-) ('cause that's how I roll)

I was a baller and threw down the cash on a longer vacuum hose to connect it to the intake manifold. The top of the BOV with the vacuum fitting is clocked so that the vacuum fitting is further away. I used 6mm silicone hose.

I'll see your thread hijack and raise you one:

Yes it is a custom aluminum upper I/C pipe. Lots of other crustom stuffs too. Gotta make a thread one of these days.

I'm going to thread jack too. It looks like a stock intake, but you must have something fancy in there. RRE stealth intake?

Also, your plastic valve cover is a different color than mine. I like my black one better...
