I think I may have found a new 3port boost solenoid...that comes on every EVO

Just search in the ECUflash forum for how to hook up a GM 3 port to a external WG. Search "GM 3port/3 port external WG/wastegate" or something similar.
Then after you know how to hook the ext. WG to a GM 3port, youll be able to hook it up to this solenoid.

Any opinions, results, fact, theories, etc you'd like to share?
No harder than it should be for any other solenoid. Sure, dynamic range is reduced, but if it was hard to tune I could just reduce my error corrections. So far it has been working well, and I think these are more in-line with levels that a normal solenoid would react at. I believe the AEM with a resistor might take longer to energize (similar to the response time for the GM with resistor) and may have been slowed greatly for lower duty cycles.

Still continuing to use it, still working rock solid. Its been months now at 28+psi and now a few weeks at aiming for ~23. Haven't had much time to tune.

If it does have enough resolution to stabilize the boost, lower WGDC itself shouldn't be a problem. I guess it is time to get one myself and replace my WORKS boost line that gives me boost peaks.
