DDMW Hard charge tube w/ Synapse BOV install

[Preloader]

I believe Trifecta defected back to MAF tunes not long ago. You only get ECP on budget tune or when you ask for it on a full tune.

the problem is when you start your car and it's idling high, the BOV is wide open to prevent boost building while parked, hence why it won't stay running. as said, you need a new tune, but I just thought I'd explain.

Why isn't anyone talking about recirculating the boost? Why are we all so quick to accept losing that boost?

because our turbo is so small and builds boost so rapidly the boost loss is negligible. it's not a 90mm turbo.

i just installed the synapse/hard charge tube today and now i'm finally experiencing all these code issues i've been reading about here.
So Eric, you're saying that i would be better off just getting the re-tune for it to run an atmospheric discharge rather than spending the DIY time making a cold air intake to turbo inlet connector with another inlet to run from the discharge valve of the synapse?

-learning as i go
please bear with me

also, is it safe to drive the vehicle while running the synapse with a mis-matched tune?

absolutely, and I wouldn't drive it like that.
