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.

TSL are selling the perrin ones, supposed to be quite good.

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.
