Re: Turbo control solenoid compatibility question.

I just got that one straight from the dealership as a replacement for my iPD HD one, which I managed to mangle... :P

Re: When it's time to move on (and what did you buy?)

I'd get a 2004-2007 model with 2.5T engine with < 100K miles and with good maintenance records.

Re: Mishimoto universal fan

Re: Turbo control solenoid compatibility question.

The AC Delco aren't readily available in europe (at least when I tried to find them). The Pierburg are also used by a range of other european manufactuerers. @jreed I guess you can use the even newer parts, (it looks exactly the same as the one I used) - I think als long as they have 3 ports they mo...
