EMPI Pro-Sync Carburetor Synchronizer | Dual-Carb VW & Porsche | Carb Balancing Tool (43-5718-0)

EMPI Universal Pro-Sync Carburetor Synchronizer (Includes 1 Boot Adapter)

Achieve peak performance and a rock-solid idle with the EMPI Pro-Sync. Essential for anyone running a dual-carburetor setup, this precision instrument accurately measures air intake across all barrels so you can balance your engine perfectly.

Unlike older bubble-style gauges, the Pro-Sync lets air pass through without restriction, giving a highly accurate reading without stalling the engine or affecting the vacuum signal. The large, easy-to-read scale (graduated 1-30 kg/h) supports the fine-tuning required for crisp throttle response and optimal fuel economy.
