I'm having trouble getting the flange off, I need to put an aluminum one on there and they use these tiny little allen wrench locking screws. I hate those ****ers, because of course I can't get them out.

I'll get them off sooner or later but it's just annoying ya know?

Oh, what is it. This is a Synapse Engineering blow off valve. It's one of a kind piston actuated blow off valve. No diaphrams and the best part is that BOOST HOLDS IT CLOSED!!!! No more leaking under boost!

That's about it for now, I have my piping coming in the mail tomorrow and on Tues I'm gonna probably mount the IC and prefab all the piping. Going to try and get it welded up before I put it in, but I'll probably just have someone quick weld the BOV flange on and then hose clamp everything and wait until I get the new bumper and fog lights before I get everything welded up and finalized.

I've heard it's quiet when recirculated, not so quiet when it's not. This isn't getting recirculated so it should be fairly loud.

theres soe videos on google of it. I watched one on a turbo S2000 andcould barely hear it over the engine and wastegate. Even if it makes no sound its a nice piece
