So what is your overall opinion of the Synapse? Do you feel that it has added power, or just improved response?
Its a very different feeling then the forge or stock! It builds boost and doesent really drop off far in between shifts. It also holds the built boost longer in the RPM range...
The install is quite easy ....the speed 3 however has a much smaller space to work with. I noticed the speed 6 pictures had much more room, but it fits the 3.. If i had to say something about performance i would say that the Synapse valve gives stock driveability with a +1 on FORGE performance if that makes sense..
do you have datalogs showing this? I'd be very interested in seeing them!
i can have one for you tonight
Looking forward to it!
Also does anyone know......is this valve being shipped with the GReddy flange? As far as I can tell, thats the thing required for this installation (in addition to cutting .8 inches off the stock hose and reconnecting the vacuum lines)? The only mod on my car is an MS CAI.
Hard to tell from those pics, but does the recirc hose have any kinks in it? Is it so tight that it's an issue? What flange did you use?
if you angle it the way they want the cobb SRI is completely in the way of the recirc tube.... thats what you see in the pic.... But if you angle it a bit down you get a better fit ill take a pic of waht i mean in a min....... also you may not want to cut the recirc tube untill you know you need too (on the 3 with the cobb SRI only) by the angle you select i had to pick upsome new hose and i only cut .5" off....
OK pic is a little dark but it was at 5:30 am so ill get a better pic up latter but you can see the position you need with the cobb SRI
The FMIC kits move the stock mounting flange location making it a little easier to get a good figment/adjustment **if you are using the stock mounting location and the Cobb SRI it takes some patients.....
Im supposed to call Synapse again today to send them pics and explain my concerns..

Can't get my Synapse on with the stock airbox . . . gotta get an intake of some kind . . . probably get an MS CAI . . . will update once I get it.
hmm it should fit with the stock box
Yup same page!!
IMO the best thing about the Synapse is the driveability(its not as harsh) and still holds the boost
