After driving for a few days, I am very happy. I have not had one backfire since intalling the Synapse (catless). I can boost and go right into neutral with no stalling. Also, there is virtually no noise when blowing off as compared to the raptor.
Another thing I noticed is that the boost spools back up much quicker after shifting. I'd guess that's because of the lack of surge. It actually makes the car feel much faster when rowing through the gears. I am not sure if this is because it's that much better or because the Raptor sucked so horribly.

Got the synapse bov yesterday an installed it today no surge when driving an light surge when boosting hard. I say big different from greddy rs bov, also the anti stall kit fix my stalling. When i boost an shift back to neutral, the car does not shutt off any more. The only thing I have now is idle issue it seems kind of low, it is around 700.

We're very pleased to hear your responses! Like we've been saying, all you need to do is try one out, and you'll be a believer just like we are!

Im looking to replace the Raptor bov on my tnetics kit. Will this bov fit right onto the tnetics flange? And if it doesnt, what adaptor would I need?

The greddy RS fange is the same im pretty sure.

Yea thats what im getting with some searching that the greddy and tnetics are the same. I just cant find any pics of the adaptor to see if its just a bolt on thing, or if Im going to have to have it welded on the pipe.

Bolt on.....no welding.

Yea the flange is bolt on, but how does the bov stay on the flange.

Check out the flanges

It slides over a O-ring then it set in place with set screws that lock in in place.

If you download the pdf files right from http://www.synapseengineering.com/ under archives.... its all pretty self explainatory. The flanges are bolt on.... I guess I was wrong.

yep, my bov popped off today, where the set screws hold it to the adaptor. i lost one of the set screws and hopefully i can keep it from popping off until tomorrow. i doubt i can find another set screw so im going to fab up a bracket to hold the bov to the pipe. i big charge pipe clamp and rubber should do the trick.

oh wait.. hahahaha

well it would have been fine but i didnt put locktite on the screws. im gonna put a big auger clamp on it, it will be fine. still by far the best bov ive had.

BrownDogg

well it only pops off if it isn't installed correctly. happened to my friend on his tC the first time as well but that shouldn't turn you off from getting one at all

java09

i guess your right, as long as it is user error and not manufacture error.

because i have been looking into this a lot.

deathbyc4

i'm going to retap the holes to a larger one and use 10-24 set screws, that should keep it on.

anyone selling a synapses before i buy a new one?? jsut trying to help someone out. must come with anti stall kit!

lemme know! got scrilla right churrr.

Im picking mine up from a local shop on Friday. I was curious to know the "best" way to set up the boost signals. I know you can put them in different configurations between the three ports. But what works best? Any suggestions.......
