Failure can be greatly avoided by taking a product that is well developed. When purchasing a cheap knock off you are introducing poor workmanship. I know I busted my *** to build my car with quality and I will keep it that way. Even when it comes down to the bov. Brett, I am sure you can respect my decision to buy a product from synapse.

He has a bnr upgraded turbo and he's hoping for 12lbs. So we figured better safe than sorry.

Well if he wants to be safe he needs to get that BOV recirculated and get the car retuned ASAP. Who is tuning the car?

Quality aside the response time of a crappy BOV vs a real one makes a world of difference performance and safety wise. Some BOVs have reaction times as low as 25mS

He has the kit to recirc the bov. Just haven't installed it yet. Mazdamaniac is doing the tuning on it.

Oh okay, well I think MM can tune around it a bit but I am surprised he hasn't forced the issue to get the recirc fitted.

I am running a tune provided by Kane already, it's a base turbo tune but my AFR's actually look great running around town, the leanest I get is low 14's, and when I moderately accelerate onto the highway up to 4,000RPM I am at steady 12's. 90% of the time I only use Shell 93 from a new station close to my house.

Sure I do .
What I find interesting is when guys are quite happy to spend lots of dollars on products that don't really do anything to enhance the overall package but couldn't find a few extra $ to get a decent turbo ,which is not only the heart of the system , but the hardest thing to alter later on down the track.

You do realize that any manifold boost pressure = engine load that is greater than WOT when NA, right?

Just something to consider when you are supposedly breaking in a new engine ...

Yep. Even if it had mileage on it before, the idea behind a break-in period is supposed to apply to each rebuild of an engine.

Either way, he has clearly stated that he is following a break-in procedure, so it might be good for him to be aware of what Team posted.

Is that true, Team? I know that you have WAY more knowledge than me on the matter, but it still seems weird that 1 psi under light acceleration is more load than NA WOT. If that is the case, I assume this would apply to all engines, correct?
