Question Which 3 port solenoid?

Need to buy a 3 port Boost Solenoid for my Sti v3, exactly which one do I need, is there a specific model year to ask for or will any 3 port unit do?

I'm about to fit an AndyF turbo/Apexi Fc so need to change my 2 port to 3 port.

ps: anyone got one for me?

You may as well get the Apexi boost control kit to match the PowerFC. The Apexi AVCR also includes the same boost controller as in the kit but the benefit of the AVCR is adjustable boost levels for different gears (and fully adjustable throughout the rev range in each gear I believe). It may be a better purchase for a hill climber

There's 3 Buy It Nows for less than £250 on ebay + a couple on auction with a few days to go.

?
I was going to use my Sti v3 DV plumbed into a welded pipe to the TMIC...why not??

This is all easy stuff.

15 years ago (ops, my age showing) I was putting V8's into 1930's Fords with Jag rear suspensions and bespoke chassis and all that Hot Rod stuff.....

It's only $$$$$$$$.
