I dont have a boost controller and im going to change mine as they are apparently meant to give you more stable boost control when you raise the boost.

Harvey, sounds good, any more details and I will take it.
Make model etc.

Is it true you need the car remapped if you have one?

They are MAC. They have a long electric lead/cable.
These are the solenoid valves used by Hybrid on their boost controllers, Simtek on their ECU installations and I see Bob Rawle also uses them and I am sure many others use them too.
