Synapse Engineering BOV Testing Day

But remember - anyone can gain HP when replacing a BOV that wasn't properly adjusted in the first place! It's like having ECU brand X with a crappy tune getting replaced by ECU brand Y with a good tune and ECU Y gains 25 HP. This doesn't necessarily mean that ECU Y is better.. it is just replacing something that wasn't set up properly.

There's no need for a proper setup as it is literally PnP.

My bov is working just fine thank you. Works just like they say it should. ZERO flutter without any adjustments at all! No guess work.

If you hear noises in VAC - that means it's too soft and you're leaking air in.
Sometimes people mistaken the sound of a BOV at low boost to be compressor surge as well - this can be hard to diagnose sometimes. But usually you can feel compressor surge.

i personally have the greddy type r and am boosting on 23 lbs and it seems to be fine. i did want to try out the synapse products since they have had good reviews. as long as they work better than ebay products (which i would never buy anyway) than these products might be worth a try.

Time and time again, the individuals who do not approve of Synapse have never used, tried, or seen Synapse BOV's in person. The guy in the thread that you're referencing specifically states that based on what he heard the Synapse BOV wasn't better than Tial.
Everytime Synapse posts a video, a thread, or any info regarding their products, people claim that it's fake or rigged. Such is common place with ANY part. You're always going to have people with no hands on experience making the biggest fuss.

Instead we have the same "well, I heard that..." posts ad nauseum.
Speaking of which, you should bring your car if it's still around! It'd be nice to see the differences on a Turbonetics kit.

My turbo is officially blown! the seal went out! which is why my dad kicked my ___ in his ISF! ____ed me off!
I'm actually getting ready to post all my ____ up for sale, When we last spoke I was 19,000 in debt now I'm at 12,000 not bad for 1 1/2 months.LOL, let me get some more debt down and well talk again if you would like!
I'm gettin ready to redo liz's tc after I sell off all my ____ on my car! Probably a good 3 months out.

Oh please, that would be too much to ask lol. Here we are offering ANYONE with a turbo tC to get their BOV's matched against Synapse so it can be officially documented with before and after dyno's, and no one's biting.

I just offered to test it out, what gives
