What Is Synapse Engineering?

Synapse Engineering is a world leader in the design and development of turbocharger and boosted components. It was founded in 1999 in San Diego, California by Peter Johann Medina to address specific product needs in the automotive performance and racing aftermarket that were not being well addressed. By 2002, Synapse Engineering’s first groundbreaking technology, Synchronic, had been developed. Formal intellectual property assets in a utility patent were granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 2005. From that point on, turbocharger control products, particularly compressor bypass valves and external wastegates, were made commercially available based on the Synchronic technology. 

Synchronic, essentially, features a redesigned geometry of the fluid powered actuator. With that newfound technology, Synapse Engineering is able to counter-bias high-working forces, modify actuation from a binary to a quaternary logic, and boast one of the fastest operating actuator mechanisms since the brand’s original invention.

What Does Synapse Engineering Offer?

Synapse Engineering focuses on delivering cutting-edge turbocharger control products that deliver innovation through research and development. Synapse is at the vanguard of the motorsports realm in the performance and racing aftermarket as a leading manufacturing performance turbocharger controls, systems, and accessories. The majority of Synapse Engineering’s products are universal in terms of application and are race-proven to enhance the performance of turbocharged engines.

Synapse Engineering currently offers diverter valves, blow-off valves, wastegates, and piping kits. Customers can use Synapse products for a wide range of applications, including import and domestic cars, diesel trucks, turbocharged snowmobiles, powerboats, turbocharged jet skis, and even tractor pullers. The prevalence of turbochargers in performance applications is what influences the company’s development of new product lines that include intercoolers, intercooler piping kits, boost controllers, exhaust systems, and forthcoming electronic fuel/ignition controllers.
