Compatible Boost Solenoid

Post by Flash202 »

What boost solenoids are compatible with k-Pro? I was interested in using the MAC solenoid also used by AEM. Would this be compatible with K-Pro?

All solenoids should work, you just may need to change a few settings depending on if it is normally open or normally closed.

You will need only what is listed in the Help file:

Boost Controller Solenoid Installation
Previous Top Next

This covers the selection, connection and wiring of the boost control solenoid.

Boost Control Solenoid

While almost any solenoid can be used for boost control, it is recommended to use a 3 way solenoid designed for boost control.

The GM 3 way solenoid is a popular solenoid:
Solenoid GM part #1997152
Wiring connector GM part #12102747

Solenoids can either be normally open or normally closed. A normally open solenoid has the advantage of not running until boost needs to be increased, but has the disadvantage of not controlling boost at all if the solenoid or hoses fail. An ECU boost cut is recommended to prevent damage if this occurs.

Notes:
? It is normal for the solenoid to make a ticking or buzzing sound when active.

? Stepper motor type controllers will not work.

If it works like all other boost solenoids, then yes.
