Hi there
You car look so lovely.
since am also installing a turbo in to my car now(it's not a Honda) and searching for a good waste gate & bov could you mind to share the reason you choose Synapse product?

I have read many thread about how good Synapse are quiet interest in their product but still worry about it quality. That's why I think your opinion could help me to make my final decisions.

Thanks

I'm still doing research on BOVs & wastegates. I may/may not go with a different setup. Check back later!

After thinking everything thru, I've decided to throw the Rotrex build in the backburner. I may do it in the future, but I need to get some bigger things out of the way first. So with that in mind, I've decided to do a "simpler" N/A build. It will consist of Kelford 179-A camshafts, Hayward 54mm ITB's & ASP 4-1 header w/ megaphone & reverse cone. I also got a few updates for you guys aswell. My K-Pro version 3 upgrade came back from Hondata today. Along with that, I got my PLM header back from my fab guy. I had him "blend" the ports and modify the collector to 3" w/ v-band flange. Onto the pics...

My Vibrant Streetpower round muffler came in today. I'm getting rid of my old setup for a LCA dump setup.

very sick setup. rotrex is my next setup. i did a fully built boosted k20 with a sidewinder and gt40 and made impressive numbers. but the hassle of maint. on a turbo kit is annoying. buddy on k20a.org has a black em2 with a fully built k24 on a rotrex made really good power. em2's are really growing on me.

Exhaust fab finished. Just need to drop it off with my welder to have it TIG welded and get hangers made.

Update for you guys. I picked up a mint set of 06-08 Si wheels from a friend for my Type-S 5-lug conversion. I was originally going to buy them next week for $350, but he made a deal I couldn't refuse. The deal was to spray his side skirts on his FG2 (he provides all the materials), and in return he will give me the wheels + $200.
