The stock BOV on the X is known to leak at 25psi. A lot of guys crush theirs because the aftermarket BOVs have been a real crap-shoot...the vast majority being worse than stock when it comes to drive-ability.

I decided to pick up a Coto sports BOV-MO4. It is a stock BOV with a stronger spring. A guy that has one says it holds to at least 30psi and behaves like stock.

The obvious downside: JDM pricing yo!

Is the X BOV the same as the IX? WORKS and Tomei both sell a IX BOV with a stiffer spring.

yes its the same as the 9, i had shane crush mine and on the boost leak test it was holding 26psi no prob and we didn't hear any leaks.

Lomker, crushing stock bov ftw, lol. But nice pickup. How much if you don't mind me asking?

I am thinking of doing the synapse one if i do upgrade.

Just crush the stock one a bit for the same effect :)

No shit? The amount of stuff I've learned after it was too late is epic. I'll have to buy another X just to use what I've learned to some advantage. lol.

Kracka is right but you gotta pay extra for the middle-man to buy your stuff and then the shipping charges from Japan. $315 from Japanparts.com.

GST motorsports has shown some gains by going to the synapse bov on a few cars even over the stock crushed one, usually in the midrange over the stock crushed one, but they said they have had good luck with that one.

Dude, send it back and either crush yours or buy the Tomei or WORKS if you insist on having a stronger spring! $315 for a basically stock BOV is just insane.

I agree, cancel the order if you can. Otherwise sell me your stocker; I'll crush it and put it on anna's car :)
