What is a boost control solenoid for?
You will need a boost control solenoid if you are connecting an electronic boost controller. These solenoids are used for plumbing in & bleeding off the pressure in a pneumatic boost control system – More simply, most external wastegates and internal wastegate actuators.
Can I use this for an aftermarket ECU?
Yes. While we provide these as a spare for our Award winning Turbosmart eBoost 2 & street, they are an excellent solution alongside aftermarket & motorsport engine management and work perfectly as an upgrade to many OEM ECU.
What is the difference between 3 & 4 Port?
Other than the number of ports? A 3-Port solenoid provides single port control of an actuator and is a simple & standard method. On the other hand, four ports on solenoids are used for Twin Port control & connected to both sides of the diaphragm. This 4-Port solenoid & connection method allows for great tuning.
Why should I upgrade my boost control solenoid?
The Turbosmart range of Boost Control Solenoids is proven in motorsport and on the road to provide a response, flexibility, and reliability where many others will let you down.
How are they wired in?
The Turbosmart Boost Control Solenoids are not polarized, meaning you cannot get the wiring wrong – they will work both ways. The best results are achieved with + 12v to one wire & a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) signal to the other.
