Or so it would seem...I just looked them up on here. In stock. Stolen from a thread on osecuroms.org I should note that the discounts mentioned no longer are valid.
its the harness that plugs into the BCS. Its a compatible harness that has a two lead output. I believe the original purpose of solenoid was for their ABS vacuum system, not a boost control solenoid. It works better, and provides smoother boost on stock/modified imprezas than came originally The prices have definitely skyrocketed, but at least they are still available. For the money I think I'm just going to skip the BCS, and get the normal XPT stage 2. *waits for nuke or bullwinkle to chime in*
It is the same pigtail used on half of any GM. Almost every GM washer fluid pump uses that plug. I think I could source a dozen of them from my dad's Lumina. Or you can find a MAC distributor and get this solenoid for about $22. http://www.aempower.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=23 MAC part # 35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA
piddster-I may need a new solenoid anyhow. The stocker has been acting up. Is there a site I can look for those?
These guys are listed as a dealer in MN. http://www.hartfiel.com/ Otherwise this is the list on MAC's website: http://www.macvalves.com/distributors/usa.htm That valve does come up on ebay once in a while too. This guy got one for his ARB air locker setup from these guys for $17 http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/mac/mac-1.htm
I will say that the GM solenoid worked as well as my MAC one does. I was chasing a boost overrun issue that ended up being the frequency I was running it at.
Yes, the frequency is about the only thing that could cause a 3-port to vary in operation at all. A 3-port is a 3-port is a 3-port. That's about it. About the only thing that could be different and beneficial is the size.
What is nice about the MAC solenoid is the 1/8 NPT ports, so you can use damn near any fitting on it and if you want to get real fancy like fabiola, you can use all the baller style AN stuff.
shibbs, what are you charging for these bad boys now, PM me with answers. Justin, can you PM me, I swear I wont say 'nothin. I just am planning on going stg 2 very soon with my tune.
many many pieces to our boost solenoid. our engineer has been working on it since the beginning of last summer. but we are ready to release it now..just finishing up a few things. GB should be starting next week on nasioc.
