Yes it is a monster. But you can adjust the flange to have the BPV be at whatever angle you want. So I have mine facing somewhat upward. Only downside is you can't use a regular recirc hose then. I went and got an S-shaped radiator hose from Autozone and modified it to fit. Has been working pretty well for a few months now.

I got a Samco Superflex Hose for my HKS and it is awesome!

Depends on your kit. My recirc hose needs to make a 90 degree turn for my FMIC. The superflex hose is a life saver.

The pictures make it look like its the same size. Maybe they need a reference shot with the old one.

I was talking about the old one.

Didn't even know that new one existed. I thought the title of the thread was about recon getting a new (to him) synapse, not that there was a whole new design.
