Default Synapse Wastegate and BOV.. Does it work?? PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ONLY!!!!!

Ive been interested in this product since i seen it released and seeing some of the video's but ive been doing searches and all i could find was a bunch of people bitching about not being made in the USA or the scratches on the product. I DONT CARE ABOUT IT!! so no bitchin or bickering in here. i searched and i searched and i could not get a answer. all i found was
1 s2000 guy has it and stands behind what synapse claims
2. patrickgsr has it and stands behind what synapse claims

SO i want to hear more feedback on how this wastegate and BOV PERFORM!

We have sold plenty with no complaints and also used many of them on customer builds with great success.

We even used one on a 1000+whp Duramax diesel. It worked great.

The only thing I can say to give people heads up on these products is to make sure and read the directions. These do not work the same as other wastegates out there.

I tend to agree with turbodano. We've used a few of them ourselves. The product seems to work ok, especially on Hondas, but you MUST make sure that ALL, and I mean ALL of your vacuum and exhaust leaks handled, for it to work properly. On some DSMs, we've encountered some people who had the units on the BOV, but just didn't have all of their leaks checked. This was the advantage of TiAL with the diaphrams, it could compensate for the small inconsistencies. I think the Synapse could be improved, but its not bad.

i agree with that new video. I work on High End multi million dollar RV's. I Install all the Air system and we use all of those fittings. just never thought about using Parflex ( the plastic Hose) as a Vaccum line.

But Bump for more info thanks for posting that video and new link.
