Fairman,

First I waned to tell you how much I appreciate your contributions to the forum.
Always good solid information with no BS. Please keep it up.

There is so much crap on here about the Synapse BOV I didn't even bother replying to the threads. It is by far the best, fastest acting, best quality, and most versetile BOV available. It can be plumbed to recirculate (which we want) or vent to atmosphere. It's adjustable for pressure, boost pressure holds it shut (no leak or creep), has increditably fast transition time, AND NO, IT DOES NOT QUACK !!!!! The downside is it is rather large but has enough mounting versetility that it's size becomes a non issue.
I've relocated my CIS to the right rear of the engine compartment (ala 934) to where the AC used to set. So the BOV is mounted on the 14" intake pipe between the CIS and the Turbo intake. This eliminated about 4' of intake plumbing and
a couple 90 Degee bends and also added a lot of space in the engine compartment to provide more cooling. It also eliminates about 700 cu. in. of tubing you have to refill before you get boost back. It's like removing the old pancake recirculation assy. 3 times.
I have been putting the "Old Sled" back together after painting so my engine is out or I would post pics. I'm actually dinking around with seeing if you can make it dual purpose and use it as the BOV and the wastegate at the same time.
I'm planning on being operational by Spring. I live in Indiana so I don't take the old girl out during the winter anyway. The interior is in and I'm finishing up wiring in the engine compartment now. (posted some pics of the MSD install on page 2). When I designed the house I put a small Porsche garage next to the rec. room in the basement so it's a heated and air conditioned Porsche bed room. Very easy access and my office in in the basement also so when my head is ready to explode from work I can just walk out and dink around on the car to chill out.
