would the anti stall fitting be required then?

I was looking at the synchronic install instructions and am confused on where to connect everything...the boost only source in particular actually--where did you connect yours?

Boost only would come off the Wastegate Signal line pre boost controller......

oh my bad about the filter...
I have the mazsport cai with a k&n cone filter already

so for the boost only source off the wastegate signal, you would just tee off that?

sorry I suck at grasping things without pictures! I think sometimes I'm a little retarded.

btw, I found a synchronic bov with the hks adpater (which I need) on eghey for 229.

Careful; some of the parts (like the locking screws for the flange) are really easy to **** up - so a used one may not be worth it.

Cool.

Where is your flange welded? That is the last consideration as the BOV ain't small....

Yes . Page 6 says to connect into the same vac source as the fuel pressure regulator . It is not clear on whether that is before or after the throttle plate .....

Actually - you can clock the Syncronci up and down and be fine I think. Just be sure to the recirc fitting on the intake side is as far away from the MAF as you can get it.

Oh jesus Christ....

I was writing a HOW TO Scale your MAF for all you flash tuners.... but I guess this is more pressing.......



That is the MBC or EBC SOLENOID. Not the EBC Vacuum/Boost line.

A MBC doesn't normally have a Manifold Vacuum line cause all it does is use a spring check valve to lower the % of boost signal going to the watsegate based on how tight you dial it down (IE it holds back 2 PSI). It is not smart enough to require any other information.


Make Sense?

BOV in relation to alternator and strut bar and close up of recirc tube
