Has anyone used one of these and how are they finding it?

Is the adjustment for the boost figure done at the tune? I like this as it is plug and play into the oem harness.

Some feedback would be appricated.

Cheers guys :D

I had a 3 port installed prior to my tune by Vin.
Vin had no problems with it... Boost came on nice and early..... Nice and strong. :mrgreen:

My research tells me a 3-port solenoid offers very little improvement over a stock one.

Really???
Which combination motor and turbo modification has this happened on?
Surprising.
Some tuners love them.... and some can't tune properly with them.... Too hard basket for some.

* BUMP from the DEEEEAD *

Looking at Perrin or Grimspeed 3-Port. Any feedback on this one compared to others?
I've used a 3 port on my other Subaru tunes but not either of these brands. Are they better than others as they claim or just another 3 port solenoid?

I think they are very similar, can't go wrong with either one , whichever is cheaper . :)

I have a brand new in box grimmspeed one that I haven't ended up using that I'll probably be selling now but haven't got around to posting it up. If you're buying from the US postage can be a killer.
