All of the reviews of Synapse have been OVERWHELMING positive. Show me one review that was actually written by someone who installed the BOV on their car, and we're good.

We're offering FREE testing at no cost to any Turbo tC, a nice hangout with fellow turbo tC's, a canyon run/cruise that will be filmed, and free food...

Yes that sounds exactly like late night informercials

Greddy, Tial, and HKS don't test against competitors. It's perfectly ok if you're a diehard fan of your current BOV, but there's really no need to try and paint our company or Synapse Engineering as shady businesses because you read or heard a few places that insisted something based on what they read or heard.

I'm actually getting ready to post all my poop 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 poop on my car! Probably a good 3 months out.
That's some fancy financing lol.

If you were local, we may have been able to set something up. However, we're specifically concentrating on the testing day at the moment. Perhaps after that we may be able to arrange something.

Heck, I'll test it on my Turbonetics kit and give a full review and right up(for a small discount). Will this bolt right up to my turbonetics kit with a Greddy Type-s flange? PM me if your interested and I'll buy it today. I did something similar with Speed source to test their engine mounts.

I absolutely dislike the Raptor BOV that came with the kit.

I would be interested in this. I have a ZPI stage 1 with an HKS bov. Let me know when this is going down and I will be there.

Yes it should mount up just fine. I'm about to do this to my brother turbonetics kti since I like this BOV so much. The Raptor sucks!

I'm not having any of the afformentioned issues with my HKS, but I'm only running 6psi.
But I'd be down for a meet and free dyno runs!

The testing isnt for superchargers as bovs have NO effect on superchargers for the tC. The ONLY point of a BOV on a supercharger is for the sound.... lol

I will be getting this Synapse BOV Friday! I cant wait.

I am so excited to not have my car surge and or stall anymore. I will post up my results after Friday

Hell, I'll try it out. I get flutterdump day after day, getting tired of it.

I'll pay for shipping and i'll put it on with before dyno and after dyno, with vids if need be. I tired of reading "If you dont believe in the ways of the old testament of BOVs, then you're going to hell" talk.

For any of you guys that film a before and after video of your car with a dyno, we'll pay for shipping on your Synapse BOV.

We're headed up there tomorrow with Browndogg to do our first test, so we'll pick up your BOV's today if your order on our site before tomorrow morning.

We'll have the following comparisons in the video:

Driving problems with current BOV (stalling, compressor surge sound in cabin, outside of car)
Dyno results with current BOV
Current BOV reaction to boost
ditto for the Synapse.

Anything else you guys would like to see?

Yes - please post your IQ score as a reference.

I'm curious to see how many people actually have the competence to try and fix their "compressor surge" or "flutter-dump" before trying a whole new BOV.

And if so, please list all attempts in identifying if said noise is actually compressor surge and what attempts you took to fix it.

*thumbs-up*
