I just traded in my old evo for another one but on my other evo I used the greddy rs bov. I kinda liked it but I really want a different one on my new one. I was thinking about the hks one but im not sure.
Any suggestions for what? The last thing you should be thinking about is what BOV to get. Aren't you interested in mods that help the car and that actually increase performance, or do you only care about making 2F2F noises? Regardless of the answer, you absolutely do not want to use the HKS SSQV - that would be a terrible choice, since it is not to be used on Evos that still have the stock MAF. The Greddy isn't that good either. If and when you get the other mods that are more useful and that make an upgraded BOV necessary, look at getting the regular JDM MR DV or stock IX DV. If you start pushing over 25psi, then get the Forge RS.
Yeah I guess I should start making power before i do the bov. When I bought the car it came with the mynes performance flash but now im looking for some cams and other things that will make my car way faster. I really dont want to get rid of the evo8 turbo until i get to the point that i need to get a bigger one. Im looking for a downpipe so i can finish my exhaust but i hyavent really found one that is worth the money.
Any suggestions on that?

Reason: Unnecessary CAPS LOCK and excessive question marks.
Sure, get the Buschur DP, and be sure you have an MBC and fuel pump. What mods are already on the car? You didn't tell us that, so I'm making guesses. If it has a flash, I would assume it already has basic stg1 mods. Once you have the stg1 mods (fuel pump, mbc, DV, exhaust, flash), then you look at getting cams and an LICP, but you'll need a retune.
I don't know - you still haven't listed your mods. Please stop with the excessive question marks. You come across as a kid who is in dire need of Ritalin. :P
To be honest I dont know what flash it has. When I bought the car the guy said it had a mynes performance flash but he didnt know what that meant but they showed me the dyno and it made 280hp/295tq so if you know what stage that is then maybe thats it. I was planning on going to mynes and have them check it out to see what stage it has so i could br sure. On my last evo I had the ams 35r kit but then i found buschur and they made the same kit for like 2k less than ams. the only difference is that the ams kit comes with the downpipe.
There are no "stages" on the flash. It would have been custom tuned for the specific mods on the car. I need you to list your MODS so that I can answer your questions...
But thats the point. I dont know what mods it has because when I bought it at the dealer the guy told me that it had a mynes performance flash. He didnt know what that meant but he said that it increased hp and tq. Thats why I want to take it to mynes performance and see if they can tell me what flash it has. All i have done to the car since then is the apexn1 catback exhaust.
It's just a flash done by Mynes Performance - they are a shop. How can you not know what mods the car has? I don't know why you keep referring to "what flash it has." It has a flash done according to whatever mods are on the car!! There aren't "types of flashes." A flash is a tune done by reprogramming the ECU. All flashes are different depending on the car, the mods, the climate, the octane, etc etc.
It was flashed for whatever mods were on the car when the car was flashed, and that may not be the same as what was on the car when you bought it if the previous owner removed a lot of mods. It's rare for someone to get a flash but not even have a cat-back, so you may have been flashed for other mods. What you should do is complete your mods, then go get retuned. It's simple.
