Why do I need a 3-port boost solenoid with an aftermarket turbo or downpipe?

Aftermarket turbochargers and downpipes can increase the volume of air your engine can handle. A 3-port solenoid offers more precise control over the wastegate, allowing it to manage the higher boost pressures generated by these modifications more effectively than the stock 2-port solenoid.

What is the difference between a 2-port and a 3-port boost solenoid?

A 2-port solenoid typically controls boost by directly regulating pressure to the wastegate actuator. A 3-port solenoid uses an additional port to vent pressure, allowing for finer adjustments and better control over the wastegate's position, leading to more stable boost.

Product Details

This Turbo XS boost control solenoid kit is built to swap out the stock 2-port solenoid on your 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X for a more capable 3-port unit. If you've upgraded your downpipe or turbocharger, you'll likely need this part to properly manage boost pressure. The factory solenoid just can't keep up with the increased airflow and demands of those modifications.

Using a 3-port solenoid allows for more precise control over your turbocharger's wastegate. This means you can achieve more consistent and stable boost levels, which is crucial for both performance and engine health when you're pushing beyond stock power. It's a well-known upgrade for Evo X owners looking to fine-tune their engine's performance after installing other aftermarket forced induction components.

Keep in mind that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and any specific requirements for your vehicle's setup.
