These are the same three port boost solenoid valve as supplied with a new Simtel ECU so they are more than capable and MAC are a World leader in air control equipment so absolutely no problem Tx.
Phil : If you already have a two port and want to change to a three port, personally I would do it at the time you next remap. Makes more sense.

Reedy. 
Mikey. Yes you could do that but IF you already have a Simtek with a three port, I am struggling to understand why you would want to swap it. Swap a 2 port for a 3 port by all means but forgive me for saying so, swapping a 3 port for a 3 port sounds like taking coals to Newcastle or even a bit Irish, no offence intended. If you can explain a little bit more what you ware wanting to achieve I will try and help you.

The three port will result in more precise and sharper boost control.
The 3 port BSV comes with two fittings, the third port vents to atmosphere. You will need some small bore boost control pipe eg silicon pipe. The BSV is quite small and light so it is easy to locate. I often use a couple of cable ties and choosing a good location can greatly reduce the control pipe run which has to be a good thing.

Yes still available. All you do is wire in to the existing power supply. Complete with either blue plastic or brass fittings (2 no.). You will need some 4mm vacuum pipe if the existing is not satisfactory. Pressure side to the turbo compressor outlet and other side to wastegate actuator and obviously the third port vents to atmosphere.
