ordered....

I won't need the anti-stall since the bov is mounted right after the intercooler but way before the maf. should be interesting.

Im definitely used to the sound now. Its pretty cool but I miss the chirp some times.

Also one thing I noticed with the bov... my car wouldnt start everyt time before with the hks but now it has started up every time with much more ease than before.

It does what it says. Keeps you from stalling lol. Check the vid. That little piece that shoots out after the BOV vents is the anti-stall fitting. It works spot on every time on both of the turbo tC's we tested, manual and automatic.

Hey Prestige, where can i get one of those mini filters to go over the recirc fitting? i plan to have the bov open during idle.

We do not carry any mini-filters, as we're not running any filters on our sponsored vehicles, and none of the Synapse Engineering cars had any filters either. In our experience, the amount of unfiltered air going into the system is fairly minimal. That having been said, you may get slightly better performance by filtering the BOV in theory.

We may decide to test this as well.

Synapse says you should run a filter on it to be safe. I got mine online. K&N 1.25 inch breather filter.

Which part number is the filter that you bought?

We might add this to the ZPI tC.

Looks like we CAN get the K&N Filter that yamaha16bw is using on his kit. I'll send you a PM with the price. We should be adding this to the website soon as well.

No problem, just let us know what part number it is, and we'll get that right to you.
