The long and the short of the story is this. I was on the phone with Brian from STM for another reason, when I asked him if they sold Synapse BOV's. He replied yes, I told him I would like to order the Evo specific kit. Approx 10 days later I recieved the BOV (which was yestersay 4/9). After opening the box I see what is not all the other BOV's I have seen on numerous threads here being the small compact all black BOV. I am in no way shape or form blaming Brian or STM, just want to know do I have a older style, newer style, style for another vehicle which was labled wrong? Not sure if I want to use it as it is pretty big and seems to weigh an awful lot for a BOV. Anyone have any input?

 

Thats the one I use - it's the BOV not the BPV. Works good, doesn't leak or cause surge

 

get the diverter valve instead its smaller and holds 60psi, works good.

 

synapse calls the small one the " diverter valve" the one you have is a great valve as its been tested numerous times out to 100 psi!.

 

Like others have said, that's the BOV, not the DV. I recently installed them same one, absolutely love it

 

As stated above that's the BOV not the DV. The DV looks like this:

 

the black small one would be the BPV.

 

Im using the one you pictured and it works great. No surge and its pretty quiet too.

 

yoo i am new to this is i just got my evo x this bov good? where can i fine this bov at pleas help!!

 

The small one would be the "DV" not "BPV" ....BTW lol

You don't need this unless you're boosting anything over ~26psi

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I would chalk this one up to being my fault as I did ask for the wrong item. I didnt realize Synapse made a Evo "BOV" and "DV". Though they were classified as the same thing. Oh well. Look for a brand new Synapse BOV for sale!

 

damm, my bad. hahaha
