Any new info on the new perrin boost solenoid replacment
Just wondering if there is going to be a release date on this, I would like to ditch the ebc, and let the ecutek control it for safety and drivability. Here is a quote from Jeff Perrin in another thread for those of you who don't know. "The NEW BOOST SOLENOID is a new part we are playing with that is made for aftermarket engine management(stand alones and piggybacks), and even stock ECU's. One problem all users of the stock boost solenoid have, is controlling boost over 16-18psi. Things like bleeders are used in conjunction with the stock solenoid, to help this out, but more often than not they still aren't enough for big power. This is when the customer has to go spend $500 on an AVCR which does work very well, but not as good as our part. (examples to follow)
Our Solenoid is similar to the Apex part but is faster acting,holds 100psi (AVCR is only 34 i read somewhere) and flows more air. This in turn equates to less dutycycle to get more boost. This is a a custom made, 3 port solenoid that has the same impedance as the stock one (for compatibility with the stock ECU), made in the USA (like all Perrin parts), and will have instructions how to install it for different setups. Yes, i can work as a bleeder like the stock solenoid, but will flow more. It can act like the AVCR solenoid, which shuts pressure off to the wastegate and diverts the pressure to atmosphere. And of course can work on an External WG setup. Since we have used this on our car with the reflash it is amazing how well it controls boost. With my old AVCR, to get to 1.5bar it would have to be at 90% duty cycle at redline. Our solenoid needs about half that! This part is perfect for all the Ecutek reflashes, Access port, UTEC, and other standalone ECU's. The retail price is going to be around $60. Perrin Performance" I also like the fact that it's going to be the same impedance unlike the GM one and that it also has three ports like the avcr. -Dave
