Synapse Boost Source (Port C)

[srtcrazy]

After having searched through threads about the Synapse BOV, I've noticed that nobody really mentions where they tap the line for their "Boost Only" source on Port C. For those guys running the Synapse, where are you tapping to get a boost only line? I'm running stock at the moment, so my vacuum runs to the BCS. Thoughts?

Any fitting on your turbo's compressor housing or IC pipes will work as a boost only source. Vacuum is only present after the TB.

My port C is hooked up like this. Synapse says you need to hook this to a positive boost source up stream of the throttle body plates. (so anywhere between the turbo outlet and the throttle body will work)

I just T'd off the line going to my mbc. The tiny chamber in the synapse that uses the boost is small and doesn't affect my mbc.

Thanks everyone, I'll give that a try and let you know how it works out.

Well I tried T'ing off the line between the BCS and the Wastegate/Compressor. I keep getting flutter. Should I remove the line for the BCS and connect the Port C line to the existing T Fitting between the Wastegate/Compressor? I've read that removing the line from the BCS really doesn't affect boost levels.

Did you hook up the two rear ports correctly? If you get flutter one way, try it the other way as it says in the manual.

I tried just B and just A, I've seen that DSMs generally respond better to one of the ports being connected instead of A+B.

I'm asking if you connected them as is shown in the manual. 99% of the problems people have with a synchronic are fixed by reading the manual.
