I run the SSQV (no problems so far), but will be switching to a TiAL Q for my upcoming build.

I used to use HKS but the Tial flows better. I will never quit loving the HKS, but its just easier to use Tial for most applications.

tial/synapse comparison videos? what about them?

I swapped out a greddy rs for the synapse and it stopped all compressor surge and it actually blows off now.

And just for what it's worth since I've never actually used a Greddy (although I did inspect and bench test a Greddy knock off once), I think you must not have had your Greddy adjusted correctly. Unless it's just totally broken, it seems to me that it's almost impossible for a properly adjusted BOV to not operate.

Good thing about the synapse is you don't have to adjust spring load or anything. Bad thing about them is the set screw that holds it to the flange is too small. Change that to a bigger screw and problem solve.

either way tial has the best flow hands down. just look at the design. me and my tuner swear by them. the newer tial Q is the **** fer sure haha.

oh and the video from synapse compaing the bovs side by side. they arent using the correct spring for the testing applications. the correct spring in the bov will react just as good as the synapse bovs if not better.

oh and hondas like less stiff springs. i had to cut mine when i got my peakboost kit. even tho the vac chart said i had the right spring.

You don't adjust spring loads on the TiAL either. You just make sure that the spring is based upon the vacuum of the car.

Hold on, let me horrribly weld it to a pipe, and shake the crap out of it to show oscillation".

I'd like to point out to everyone that has a question on what blow off valve to get.
Notice Peakboost, and Full-race. (2 of the nicest turbo kits available for Hondas) and Almost any full "race car" and make not of what bov they're ALL USING....That has to mean something guys. Tial 50mm for the win.

I have a Blitz and it works fine, no issues really @ as much as 28psi on sc61 so far. Though I did change out to the stiffer spring from the normal one.

I will be however buying a Tial one cause from everyone I know with them have nothing but good results, work great, good customer service, quality machine work, etc... and it will match my Tial 44mm gate.

Not trying to flame or argue, honest! But, what does this really mean? I don't think the SEMA voting committee is really out field testing this stuff or anything, are they? Probably just means a) They thought it was cool looking. Or b) They got paid. . . . Call me cynical.

Could still be a good product, but it doesn't really seem like the consensus on here feels like it's the best.
