Isn't this overkill for most of our setups? Nick...note I said most...I can see you in the few years posting a question about fitting Thumpers on a new 500CI FI Warhawk Block
I feel so small and inadequate...

Weird,
It looks like the piston and the valve are around the same if not THE same size. This means that they have similar area's.
If one has a turbo setup that has it's turbine's sized for the street, there will be more than a 2-1 ratio turbine/compressor pressure ratio.
So if there is 20 in the turbine and 10 in the intake how is it going to hold the gate shut against turbine flow? There is double the force(actually more,we are negating dynamic flow) coming from the valve than there is coming from the piston+ spring.
Granted these are observations based purely upon pics, but it seems to me from an engineering perspective that the design should have a much larger control piston.
I thought the rule of thumb was 2.2 times the area from control to valve.

www.synapseengineering.com actually is registered on one of the other boards I use a lot and they have been answering a lot of questions regarding that new bypass valve they also mentioned in that video above.
I thought it was a 60mm gate though? In the video he mentions that it was a 50mm. TiAL should have their 60mm gate out by next spring.
Do you really need a bigger gate anyways?

These gates have nothing to do with Synapse, and have been out for well over a year. We run them on the Salt flat diesels and now on rally cars. They are by far the best gate right now on the market. Tial's would not do the job.
