You have a PM :)

If you plan on getting the 1.8t engine, we'll definitely have something for that. 2.0, is still a ? I'll guarantee right now that we're going to come in below whatever the market prices are right now. Since we make the core parts, like the BOV, we should be able to make the package more...

If you pick up anything with a turbo from the factory, chances are we'll be making something for it. BMW 335/135, Cobalt SS, Evo789X, Subaru, etc.

Honestly, we're still in the "does it work" phase of R&D, so we haven't done the research on what the pricing is going to be. But my goal would be to offer a package that is less than what is out there already. And you'll be guaranteed that the BOV works well with the design and fits well too...

Please bear in mind that these are all prototypes. Many of these pipes had to be cut many times over to get the right radiuses and clearances we were looking for. 80% of all the welds will be gone. These will all be mandrel bent, bead rolled, made in the USA, Aluminum IC piping. Finishes...

Our tests more recently show gains with it on a stock car. That crush section in the stock pipe adds an unnecessary transition for airflow IMO.

Jay- thanks for picking up the BOV and I'm glad that it works well for you (headbang) Functionally, there won't be a big difference between the BOV that you have and the new DV. The new DV (which isn't available yet) is merely smaller. So, if you plan on going FMIC later, you can still use the...

Thank you to all of the guys offering their cars for our testing and development. At this point, we already have an ideal candidate selected. However, we will keep all of the volunteers' names and information for any future developments.

Synapse Engineering is looking for one Mazdaspeed 3 for test fit of our FMIC kit. We would prefer for the candidate to be located in Southern California, and the vehicle to be in mostly OEM configuration. The duration of the testing would range from 3 to 5 days. The vehicle will be return to...

You might want to try removing the pre-load spring altogether. That is the small spring inside the BOV.

The only input I have on that is that those designs that have a brass piston sliding on Aluminum are notorious for galling and sticking. So you have to service and relube them often. After a while, you wear off enough material that there's slop in the piston movement. There's always a good...

Thanks. In the video, it sounds like it is opening a few milliseconds later than it could, so it ch ch ch a few times before dumping. As I understand what you are saying, boost pressure keeps it closed? Is that from the vac/boost line only? If the geometry is what keeps it closed from the...

Steed- Cool design. Can you make a video where you are revving the throttle so that you can show how it reacts to pressure changes in the intake manifold? I also noticed that it tends to flutterdump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEUWEsqoWz8. Is it harder for it to open as you run more boost?

Just a little fuel for the fire. Here's a vid from a customer that I found on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0R1KvQRk84

I don't know how we were supposed to know this to begin with. Customer filled up the day before as anyone would, and we didn't know until we saw the low numbers that something was amiss. So we put octane boost in it and got it up to the numbers it should've been showing. What would've been...

Ghost- The stock car did 192 hp with bad gas on the stock BOV, then 220 hp with octane boost on the stock BOV, it ended up at 248 with the Synchronic BOV. The real reasoning behind why a leaky BOV is bad is the following: When you have a boost leak, you unload the compressor, effectively...

Check your vac lines, when I was testing on the dyno, the boost line to the stock BPV came loose and boost was at 0 psi on the entire run. So stock BPV is quite sensitive.

Can someone post up pics of the stock BOV flange? I want to see how close it is to the Mazdaspeed 3 flanges.

How much is stock boost exactly? Is it too loud? Or are you looking more for 1 big dump of air for sound?

sierra117- you can try to change how your Synchronic BOV sounds by running just 1 port on the back of the BOV instead of 2. Are you running the boost-only port on the side? How much boost are you running?
