Not sure about it being standard, but the 3 port boost solenoid givesmore accurate control over the boost level and is quicker acting than the standard item.

One of the techie nerds will be along shortly I don't think it's standard on any Scoobs ... tends to get added as a mod.

3 ports are standard on the v1/2 cars but not on the v3/4 cars.

as stated above a 3 port is better, i have a 3 port on my v4 car (it's from the early classic) fits no problem but needs the car mapped to work properly.

I use a prodrive 3 port solenoid on my wrx bugeye. huge difference in wastegate duty cycles (at least 30% down) and finally I can keep proper pressure in all gears. its a must upgrade
