Default Should I / Where can I get a 3 port boost solenoid?

Hi all

This is a question for my dads car. It's a bug WRX. In a couple of months will be getting it's first remap (Ecutek) with a number of upgrades including decat up-pipe, decate turbo back, 550 injectors, td05 turbo and sti v8 intercooler (think that's it).

Now, will this require or work better with a 3 port boost solenoid?

If so, where can we get one and what sort of price are we looking at? I've seen some aftermarket ones but they seem pretty expensive so wandering if an older 3 port would work.

Cheers
Lee

I wouldn't recommend a Cosworth panel filter, K & N or Green is the way to go.

cheers
