17175, Missing Link: alternative to VC-1/2 or HRC fuel mappers

Maybe someone else has posted something regarding this, but God knows I haven't seen anything. I saw a reference to it at Neons.org.

Check this out!

It lists for 69 bucks at importparts but there is no listing for our cars through them. Synapses was the only place I saw a reference to out cars. Maybe we can get some other ideas. It looks like it would work, but I'm skeptical about everything at first.

Whoah!

Ok, so this thing sits between the manifold and MAP sensor and pneumatically blocks boost from ever reaching the MAP sensor?!

So, despite their vague marketing b$, it's a check valve that allows you to remove your FCD/VC-2 because your MAP will never generate any more voltage at boost... hmmm...

Their dealers are within driving distance... I may try this. Why?

1) I went to Tahoe (high elevation) with my turbokit... the engine had about 10 horsepower at that elevation, it actually slowed down under boost.

2) My FCD sux. I'd love to lose it, and not have to buy a vc-2.

3) I have cold-start problems. The engine barely runs when cold.

Other ppl's thoughts? Corbin-dallas-multipass? ;)

Hmm... Dynamic Autosports says they don't carry anything by Synapse.

Import Parts doesn't answer their fones.

I hate dealing with Honda shops.

looks like they spent the time to really test/design a quality product, and it does make sense and im sure will alleviate many of the problems on the board caused by the vc1,2 hrc black box. I wish I had a turbo to actually test it and use it, well maybe a couple months, i hope
