Default Boost solenoid
Hi all,

About to buy a turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid but wanted to check, do I need anything else to go with? Assuming my car as standard has a two port etc??

This is a future purchase for when I get mapped.

Ryan

Just looking at doing the same, I think plug on end is different if it has one, but remap after fitting.

Fitting a 3 port is a bit of a myth.
If your mapper is worth the ££££'s you give him he should be able to work with the standard 2 port especially on newage which have very good boost control maps and tolerances.

Ahhhh....not to worry guys, I appreciate the msgs...I'm just impulsive...thought it would help when I eventually get mapped...just starting to buy parts if they come up for offer etc...

If don't need it in future then guess I'll put up for sale and someone else will get bargain

I'll learn...ha ha...one day...

Just an after thought - Im guessing it doesn't have to be a Turbosmart Boost controller to go with it?

Any ideas on good / bad boost controllers?

You don't need a boost controller.
The standard ECU can do that a lot better then any after market boost controller.
