Default 3 port boost solenoid

hi every one i want a 3 port boost solenoid but was a little wary as how it would fit coz the standard solenoid has 2 pipes so where would the 3rd one go on the 3port?

from the turbo goes to top of boost solenoid. the bottom of solenoid goes to pipe from inlet before turbo an side of solenoid goes to wastegate. thats how mine has been setup. u remove t piece n they all go individual but dont hold be responsible for your car going bang.

To answer your question, the third port is open to atmosphere but if you wanted you could feed it back to the inlet tract but open to atmosphere is less work.
I have these new for £65 if you do not already have one sourced.
As already advised, as you are not familiar with what is required, let your mapper fit.

Bob Rawle fitted my 3 port on the day that he mapped the car......as Harvey says just let the maper fit it.

He will load a "3-port" map while the car is ticking over so the ECU doesn't even have to break sweat LOL

Harvey, I'm also interested in a 3-port solenoid. What brand is the one that you stock?

Thanks, Rich.

As scooby1doo1 said.

On the standard soleniod, with a prodrive sports cat, I'm getting boost creep which is then causing fuel cut.

I'm in the process of gather all the upgrades for my engine then fitting it and getting it mapped.
