Right now I have it set for 6psi, I can hit 7psi but it usually goes real rich by that point anyway.

The size difference is outstanding! It should really clean up your engine bay.

Those are some sexy hands!

Not yet, I was very tempted to install it last night but the outlet of the DV is slightly larger so I need a new recirc hose.

No the damn threads on the recirc fitting on my Type R is way bigger and the hose doesn't fit over the end of the fitting on the Type RZ.

Dangit...

Oh well, I'll be able to tell if its operational or not pretty quickly. Once I'm tuned and start boosting to 45 psi then I get the diverter valve.

What's your final goal for boost? 8, 9, 10+psi? What's realistic?

It's hard to judge when a stock Evo boosts ~25psi at full boost. But of course that's definitely not a direct comparison. (also, I know it's not all about psi. It's just interesting)

^Depends on the tune and your setup. I'm running 12 psi. Others are running 14+.

Not a blow off valve, it's a Synapse Diverter Valve. Ideal for a MAF setup.
