Default 3/4 port boost solenoid

MY03 STI ppp has has a Ecutek remap, 3" full decat, hitting 323 HP. My question is would it have had a 3 port solenoid fitted? And how can I find out if it had. Where is it located and if I find it how would I know if it's been changed?
Thanks in advance

Easiest way to find out it follow the vacuum pipe from the turbo actuator and see where it leads, that will lead back to the solenoid if it's fitted.
