Question Anyone bought boost solenoid from USA ?

I have seen various 3 port boost solenoids available from the USA (AEM, Perrin etc) Seem to be very cheap compared to UK prices (ie £45 delivered)

Just wondered if anyone had purchased one and any problems with them ?

I am getting all the bits together for a remap, fuel pump, injectors, bigger turbo and just thought a 3 port solenoid might be a good idea as well based on what I have read.

There's some even cheaper ones like the GM or Piersburg makes available in the US.
The GM ones are so cheap that I bought several to justify the shipping and sold them over here.
The one I kept has been on two cars now and had no problem.

Where did you buy them from, a lot of the US suppliers I locate using google don't ship to the UK ?

It was from Puritan Parts back in 2005. I bought 5 GM units for about $20 each and shipping was $30.

I had one from GM, it worked but had a fault - they instantly replaced it so well worth the small cost.
