Ive been reading really good reviews on this BOV. How do you guys feel about it?

Dont flame me on a BOV, im very aware of running rich in between shift and blah blah....

Due to the fast reaction time on this unit. It seems to eliminate this problem....

I can get us a group buy discount if anyone wants one. Ill need 10 ppl

 

told you it was good... ill be getting one soon fuck surge!

 

I've heard mixed reviews about it. Most of the people think that you can get better bov's, but I'm not really sure. I would rather get a tial or something.

 

HKS SSQ-V is my first choice, but that doesn't mean that I won't consider this for my next project...

 

i seen a video of the tial and this one side by side! The Synchronic is alot faster to react. I think ppl are stateing it wont hold higher boost settings.

 

HKS is bobo

 

what is defined as higher boost settings? 25+psi?

 

of course you can get better bov... like 80% of them leak even tial leaks under vacuum... the synapses bov eliminates compressor surge... for those of you who dont know what that is... its when the blades of the turbo are forced to spin backwards and it gives your bov the "flutter" noise which kills the turbo and gives you shaft play...

 

i had the Tial and liked it much better than any bolt on BOV. car ran much cleaner and smoother.

 

warning...

Not quite. They're not forced to spin backwards, it has to do with pressure waves coming back off the closed throttle plate and striking the compressor blades. Some of that pressurized air also passed back through the compressor and out the inlet of the turbo. This combination is what causes the dreaded "surge" noise. Sure, the compressor wheel slows down, but it won't reverse.

Or, think about it another way. You have the shaft with the turbine and compressor wheels spinning at almost 1667 revolutions per second (assuming 100k rpm which isn't a bad assumption at full bore, some turbos spin over 200k rpm). That's a whole mess of inertia to overcome to make it spin backwards in a fraction of a second. Which means a very large force is needed. I have a feeling if you do the math, you'll likely snap the shaft or totally destroy the blades before that happens. Not only that, but you still have exhaust passing through the turbine wheel, causing "forward" motion.


Also, ryan, you provide no links. The lazy among us won't search for it if you're going to shill it.
