Synapse Hybrid Bov Review

[sleeper3]

what do you mean by harsh? it's hard to believe that a bypass valve can have this much of an effect on drivability. I mean, the sound is kind of starting to get old.

Looked at the 2 charts. how is the new valve holding any more boost? Unless I'm reading it wrong...it looks like both are holding 16ish psi @ 5k rpms and the forge drops off to about 10psi by 6200 or redline. The other log you only go up to about 5200 rpm so you can't even see what happens and of course it's not going to start dropping off by 5200

If you have a FORGE you know what i menan by harsh its hard to explain with the forge you want to be in boost or not (im not bashing the forge i like it ) the synapse feels more like the stock valve(feels softer/lighter) but performs better and its quieter .......

better orientation pic with the Cobb SRI

Its hard to wind out 3rd and 4th in traffic so yes the Rpm is a little off but if you look at the trend of the forge log you see the slant twards taper off... Again im not saying anyone should sell there Forge and buy a synapse at all I liked my forge alot.. Is the Boost drasticaly different ? NO Does the Synapse hold boost better in the upper RPM? YES

My fav thing about the Synapse is you get stock driveability with forge+1 performance **and its quiet

 

[nypest]

i will have a little more info after i tune it a little better

Can we a get a datalog of the new valve all the way to redline so we can compare it to the forge? I am curious as well. I have a forge on the way but I might not like it lol.

This is what im talking about just fyi...

Heres mine...just installed yesterday

Randy has a log of the synapse all the way to redline .....

 

[aaronc7]

WITH STOCK TURBO?!?!?! lol

if you could get us a datalog with you going to redline that would be awesome

Edit yeah i need to get the synapse log with the same values ...ill se what i can do

ill do my best

 

[aaronc7]

Hate to disagree again but that is not correct, lol. Keep in mind the rpm range on the left...theres 1250 rpms between each tick

Look, I'm not trying to say it doesn't hold boost as well or anything like that. There's not enough data. You just said it did and would post datalogs showing it...you haven't. You need to have both valves, same gear all the way to redline to compare really.

I guess I'm just tired of people claiming 'amazing gains' with nothing really backing it up. I'm not saying you are, just based on the data you provided nothing can really be concluded (mainly that the new valve holds boost better).

Do a datalog of the new valve all the way to redline in the same gear as the forge and there will be no more discussion needed! lol

edit: OK cool thanks, look forward to seeing the results

+1, the synapse BPV is just the flavor of the month.

 

[nypest]

Im definatly not claming amazing gains at all(i saw there video "whatever") ... Again the driveability to me makes this valve well worth it... Im still sticking with the Forge +1 lol

i disagree...

it really is a good valve and its another option for ppl who may not like whats out there

 

[clos561]

i think its a great piece, gains are prolly a blown up but companies gota try to push products to make money...good piece, hopefully no leaks in the future.

if you find a car with a really leaky stock valve, replacing it with anything is going to make more power. if I were synapse, I would find one in this situation and claim it made the power. people hear these claims and eat them up.

lol so you saw the videos ?

 

[sleeper3]

yeah, that was completely ridiculous. 27 hp I think it was?
