Exclamation What is the Synergy module for ?

I have attached to front of my engine a little box with switches on it with synergy on it can someone let me know what's its for and should I touch it ? I also have a some toggle switch near the steering wheel on the centre console which I have never touched as I don't know what it is for ?
Cheers in advance

Paul

It's a tuning box. If you do a search in the Google search box at the top of the page, all will be revealed Just under where it says user cp etc

Please remember that the ignition must be OFF before you make any changes.

After installing, switch the MAF section ON and the Tuning section OFF. You can’t set anything up correctly until you have sorted out the MAF section. The idea is to find out first whether you need Low, Medium, or High MAF boost. You do this by driving the car normally, and changing the setting on the rotary control until the car pulls OK from lowish revs without that “heart in the mouth” nothing is happening feeling. Note, for this part there are only three different settings, 1 (Low), 4 (Medium) and 7 (High). Don’t go any higher than necessary as this will only cause excessive smoke.
When you have found the correct position out of those three, then you can move on to the bit you’ve been waiting for.
TURN ON THE TUNING SECTION
Whichever position you have selected, 1, 4 or 7 can now be “fine tuned” to give you more control over how the car responds. The options are Low, Medium or High throttle response. Basically this is how the car responds to input from the throttle pedal, from smooth to sudden.

Each of the above three positions has two more positions under the same MAF boost band setting.
So,
Position 1, Low boost, Low throttle response, also has
Position 2, Low boost, Medium throttle response, and
Position 3, Low boost, High throttle response.

This is the same for position 4 (with 5&6)
And position 7 (with 8&9)

Try all three settings in the band that you have previously selected to see which suits your style of driving, and that’s it. Job done. Go out and enjoy

Smile Looks like I have the synergy 2a

Looks like I have the Synergy 2a fitted with the 3 way switch in the car still not adjusting anything just in case. Looks like about 200quid woŕth of kit fitted .

I had one of these fitted to my Duotone when I bought it.

After deliberating for about 10 seconds, I removed it and gave it away.

Why would anyone do such a thing I hear you ask? quite simple really, the modus operandi of this type of tuning box has a propensity to put strain on the high pressure pump, and in each and every case I've encountered where a car has suffered failure of the HP pump, it has been fitted with one of these, or the many other type of tuning boxes which work in the same way.

Still want to keep it fitted??

I had one of these which was swiftly removed having read a few threads on here from hugely respected posters such as marinabrian above and chatting to Arctic at the Midlands nano.

It unplugged really easily. The most difficult bit was getting the wires to the switch back through the bulkhead.

If you feel you need a bit more oomph it's far better to have a 160 remap.
