me to please as I have one and have no idea how it all plugs in.

I know I need to get a remap to get it to work properly and have been told it is a really hard job to get a 3 port to work, if this is such a time consuming and hard task why do people use them?

I guess once someone actually posts a picture of the 3 port, then maybe a WR1 owner can have a look at theirs and report back.

I too am interested to know what the extra bits Prodrive have fitted to the WR1. I read elsewhere on SN that someone mentioned different headers ?

I've got a 3 port boost solenoid on my MY02 Bugeye

My OEM ECU could not support this and Bob Rawle had to fit it just prior to mapping I gather it gives superior boost control and at 325 BHP who am I to argue !!

Sorry i havent mailed you a pic yet bash...

Looking at the pic...

Top pipe (black end) goes to the compressor cover.
Middle pipe(same angle as the top pipe) goes to the actuator.
Bottom pipe (silver end) goes to the inlet pipe.
If you look closely you can see the wires have been cut and connected to the old connector. This is the only mod needed to be done.

I would reccomend fitting this just before the remap and driving off boost until the remap.

The solenoid will not control boost properly unless remapped, the reason for this is that the solenoid duty for the 2 port will be different to the 3 port.

Cheers

Rob

Guys - If I can borrow this thread (due to the picture), what is the device below and to the right of the boost solenoid in the picture ? It is red, with a black top - I think that it takes a feed from the inlet manifold and an output to the MAP sensor ?

In fact, between it and the inlet manifold is a small disc type device - is this a one-way valve ?

Thanks,

Mark
