I think the only way the turbo would be destroyed without a BOV is shaft damage from opposing forces (cold side fighting the spin of the hot side)

In this picture you can see there is a wastegate as the BOV. I was informed that its not really used as a bov but as some kind of pop off valve. I guess for an overboost situation or something like that.

I know the Synapse Synchronic BOVs and Wastegates are supossed to be the shit.

The only thing I could think of there, other than what you mentioned, is to prevent the water to air IC from blowing apart, I've seen it happen on a couple outlaw Mustangs. It would be an especially good idea with that setup as if that did come apart during a run, that car would be totaled.

That looks pretty nice. Looks to use an HKS flange too. I may look into this. I'll have to find out the price of course ;).

200.00, not bad ;)

ZOMG! Is that blue I see on your car Ian?!

Eh, you've probably painted it black by now... :D

I'm thinking of doing the synchronic recirculated with a Hong Kong Recirculated as well. I have the two flanges already, just need to plot out where I want them exactly...
