None, MAF sensors fail with a higher than average offset output voltage, and amplifying that exacerbates the problem.

My advice is not to bother fitting it at all.

Sorry but the only advice I can give you is "DONT FIT IT"

The general view is that the Synergy isn't a great piece of kit.

I had one on a ZT-T I owned. She ran far, far better after a session with Civil Steve on the rolling road.

Can't remember the settings, sorry.

Hopefully someone will be along soon with the info you're asking for.

OK, Settings are a bit of trial and error, you just have to experiment with the settings as they will not be the same for all cars

If it works then its worth the money for nothing else but to no longer be taking your life in your hands when you pull away from a junction or roundabout.
It will also depend on which MAF it set up to work with as to if it will work or not.
As for setting. It is a hit and miss for your own preference. I personally had them set both set on 6 with my old 75. Kept it and tried it out on the new one but didn’t work as the ECU had been mapped to 160 and was killing the top end power and maxing out around 80mph with it fitted.

My feelings exactly trying to get round roundabouts can be difficult need just a bit more power off the mark worth a punt before visiting big russ.

if you are having problems at roundabouts with a CDTI then a synergy or a remap aint going to solve your problem

Oh and if you fit the synergy..... tell your insurance company

a CDTi can still be a 115BHP engine and they are terrible at pulling away fast unless the Turbo is spooling to start with
