Thread: ssqv causing compressor surge

YouTube - Synapse BOV vs. HKS

After driving hard hitting turbo cars with huge snails, my engine is from a different planet. Tell me this doesn't look like one of the most pleasing N/A curves you've ever seen.

Cars that boost hard are juggernauts.

My car was like hitting boost with a sledgehammer around 4300~4400rpm. Man it sure did feel good, but it was almost too much for me after a while. It scares everyone that rides in it. Really was like a roller coaster.

That's a superb curve. Very mild but lots of power. I would have a hard time suspecting it were turbo if I never saw the bay, and couldn't hear the spool.

Cliff, in that video the hks sounds identical to my car. Scary. I might have to bite the bullet and buy a damn synapse. Theyre pretty expensive though. : (

Or you could run a Forge for much cheaper and just weld a bung on the pipe

do you know if you are seeing creep or not? could be getting surge from not letting off enough exhaust gases from the wastegate. just throwing that out there.

maybe a better vac location or hard lines for the vacuum lines.

I remember paying $320 for my Synapse. Sure it's money, but the response of that car shows that I picked the right BOV. Did you happen to notice that there was an immediate increase in WHP and WTQ in the video? It may not be the right video, but they show an average of 15~20whp peak and around 18~23Wtq peak when comparing the SSQV to the Synapse.

THAT ALONE is worth it, in my opinion. You're throwing power away by not using it.

Forge units are superb also, but I chose the synapse after seeing the impressive results. I'm in no way affiliated with Synapse, but I'd rock a sponsorship from them in a HEARTBEAT. I stand behind their product at least 200%.

It really takes a lot to impress me, and I'm VERY finicky.

^ i agree the synapse is a really great bov even over the tial and the tial is pretty good, but over the tial the synapse is much much better
