Replacement Rotrex Supercharger for the GTM Stage 1 kit

They used to be great but then what are basically rumors about seals and things started popping up, maybe they fixed it or it was never an issue? I wonder how their Q series bypass valves would hold up. apparently perrin makes one also but both of those are near double the price of the turbosmart

A lot of good reviews about the Synapse blow off valve, it's inexpensive too.

I'm sure dirt ends up getting inside the horn of the blow off valve while driving and ends up getting stuck to the piston which in turn scores the sides and it eventually seizes.

This is probably why the recommendation for maintenance every 6 months. I ended up twisting the valve 90 degrees, facing the passenger side. 2 years, no issues so far (knock on wood).
