Synchronic DV - Is new body design out yet?

While reading up on installation etc. I found a thread where a few people said they ran into body casting failure/cracking issues. I also just noticed that MAP had a message on their Synchronic DV page saying a new one is imminent. Anyone know or have the new on yet?

I haven't heard about a redesign yet, but i'll keep this thread updated if mine cracks. Odds are they will either improve the casting material/method or switch over to using similar material as their big synchronic BOV.

Yes they have a new design. I called them 2 weeks ago and they said the new shipment
Of the redesigned body would be arriving in about a week or so.

This is what happens when you get a bad casting. 27psi on the dyno and it blow off. Swaped it around and it blow off again.

I am sending it back and they are getting me the new redesigned one.

Jeez^ that looks bad. If mine does that I might just switch brands all together. Hopefully the new version holds up to the punishment.

They have no idea which batch they made that was affected? I hope mine holds up.

My DV only has hairline fractures. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for my low dyno numbers.
