What is the advantage of a 3 port boost control solenoid?
The 3-Port Advantage The 3-port systems works by interrupting the boost signal traveling from the turbo to the wastegate. The factory configuration simply ‘bleeds’ the signal from between the turbo and wastegate, which creates a system that is a bit less complex, but reacts more slowly and with less precision.
Where do I mount my wastegate?
The ideal position for maximum flow to the wastegate is to have its inlet tube mounted at as shallow an angle (more than 90 degrees) as possible from the primary exhaust tubes that feed the turbine.
What happens if you run too much boost?
Increasing boost (within reason) will force more air into the engine, so more fuel can be added to increase the power. So in general, if you add more boost and have an engine tuned to suit will give you more power. Too much boost can cause turbo or engine failure.
