3 port boost solenoid
 
As I know very little on scoobys I'm just wondering if someone could explain how these work and what they do ? As I've been advised to get one for my wrx, it's going in for a stage one preformance pack next month so should be around 270bhp and I've seen alot of people on here advising people to get them so just wondering what try do and how they work

Cheers Sam

They allow the mapper to control the boost better.

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 12:18 PM

So be a worth while mod then

MattyB1983 16 July 2013 12:29 PM

You say 'going in for stage 2 mods'... going in where ?? And what does stage 2 mean ?

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 12:35 PM

Going in for stage one performance pack with scoobyworld, so if I'm right in saying decat up an down pipe keeping my japspeed exhaust system and a high performance
panel filter and a remap, I already have a uprated fuel pump

MattyB1983 16 July 2013 01:37 PM

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 01:42 PM

MattyB1983 16 July 2013 01:48 PM

£350 for a custom remap from dynamix,£15 for a 3 port boost solenoid from a classic on ebay and £50 for second hand sti uppipe and £100 for a downpipe

id say £500 ish, i assume the price your paying is for an ecutek license though, not really needed as most are mapped using open source.

So thats £550 for the Map, £40 for the filter, up pipe about £100 and down pipe about £200. And includes labor to fit the up pipe and down pipe?

Probably about right??:wonder:

Go second hand for up pipe and down pipe, looking about £150 for both from Matty at Pole Position?

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 01:58 PM

Right thanks for that any other mods you'd advise before I got it mapped ?

Take it irl be leaving the cat in ?

Irl start looking for the bits now

techdw 16 July 2013 01:59 PM

£960 is a fooking rip off!!!! As matt says, cheaper options to be had!!

£550 is if you already have the licence isn't it ECU TEK??

Sccobyworld charge £180 for the licence and £150 an hour plus VAT so I guess-timated at £550 based on the info saying 2 hours

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 02:13 PM

I'm just out of my element here

Thank god for forums like this

techdw 16 July 2013 02:14 PM

£150 an hour plus VAT!!!!?????? Fook that, I wouldnt bother with that. so if he runs into problems and takes all day you could get a bill for a grand +++

Use someone luck Ducan £350 mapped you cannot go wrong!

tubbytommy 16 July 2013 02:16 PM

id ring dunc dynamix, he will advise you what you need and he can supply 3 port boost solenoids along with fitting them.

£960 is way ott for what you require.

Mustoe91 16 July 2013 02:28 PM

Anyone got a number ?
