thats sucks! what happen to the simple plug and play!
Its not a hard install at all

This BOV can't be PNP due to the way it operates. What makes it unique makes in a different install. The whole idea behind the Synapse is that the traditional BOV/BPV is an ineffective design. Therefore, by that logic, any PNP valve will suffer the same way. If you bought this valve because of it's innovative design, then there is no way around the install process.
so i just got it in the mail.
this thing does feel solid!!
quick question tho, I saw the stock bov, and it sure doesnt look like I can just take the old one off and put the new one. am I missing something?
You should also have a 2 piece flange (seperate items) to convert it to the stock BOV flange. They you have to trim the ricirculate hose to make it fit.

According to Synapse, there will be a 1 piece flange available any day.

thats not what I understood when I was making my selection. it cleary states "Includes bolt on flanges and parts for Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 bolt on application."(attn)
im not crying about the install, i'll do it, but i was misinformed or understood incorrectly.
Synapse just said there speed flange is avalable PN SB001.7A
yeah, just spoke with Protoge Garage, and they "did" send the flange out seperately.
it will bolt on and off with this flange.

its not available to order this particular flange until next week. our suppliers won't have it til then at the earliest. the flanges we have sent out with the BOVs and parts kits will work and as speed305 now knows, we sent him the tracking number for his flange, and its all bolt on. lets not spread rumors here. his valve simply came faster.

thanks for the news my friend, i will be contacting my warehouse to see if we can get some of these!
i couldnt get it on today.
first, i had issues with getting the mazda flange and the flange provided by synapse, to fit with the clip provided. i couldnt squeeze it down enough to let the clip open back up to lock.
i think i still dont have it on there,
second, the recirc hose is not that difficult to get on the bov, but I couldnt angle it good enough to leave that hose without irregularity, and still have clearance with closing the hood. the 2 vacuum tubes rub the hood, and only in the movement between "latched" and "closed" is latched,
third, if they sell the BOV with 2 vacuum points, why dont they just send you the "Y" or "T" you will need to install?? I dont comprehend these business decisions!! they make you go fishing for a 1/4" for the stock vacuum, to 3/16 to the bov tubes.
Anyhow, I will continue tommorow, with more times on my hand.
I'll prob install the inlet tomm too
