Product Release: Grimmspeed Electronic Boost Control Solenoid For EVO!

Click the image above to purchase one today, or use any of the contact methods shown above!
Grimmspeed 3-port Electronic Boost Control Solenoid (Evo 8 / 9 / X)
The GrimmSpeed BCS is designed to work with your factory computer (requires tuning). It will not reduce the life of your factory computer because it is designed to draw the same ammount of power as the factory BCS but flows better and reacts faster. It plugs in and requires no splicing or soldering of resistors. With the included bracket you can bolt it in, plug in the connector, and start tuning for fast boost response, increased boost pressure and free up lots of power. Planning on returning the car to stock? Just reverse installation.
Why run an Electronic BCS over a Manual Boost Controller?
A MBC allows you to run higher than stock boost levels by preventing the wastegate from opening at its rated pressure. It does a great job at this but if boost is available under the MBC setting it will give you that full boost. So for instance, you set your MBC to 18psi because from 3000-6000rpm thats what you want. But then say you get detonation with 18psi when you are at 7000rpm unless you are below 16psi. With a MBC, you do not have this control so you are forced to run 16psi through the entire rev range. With an electronic boost controller you could run 18psi from 3000-6000 and 16psi at 7000rpm because you can tune the boost map in the ECU which will allow you to run the maximum amount of boost at every given rpm. This gives you more power throughout the range and better control. Revolutionizing the EVO boost solenoid market, we have created model specific install brackets that allow you to directly fit our Boost Solenoid into your EVO for a factory fit. No more Zip-tying! We give you the factory fitment you have been waiting for.
Staying with the OEM fitment theme, our Boost Solenoid uses a EVO style wiring harness so you can simply unplug your OEM solenoid and plug ours in. No more cutting the oem wiring and crimping wires together!
Also new to the EVO boost solenoid market, we have used ultra low-profile hose fittings to keep the unit as small and clean as possible. The hose fittings are nickel plated brass so you don't have to worry about them snapping off like the plastic hose fittings!
Main Features
* Get into Boost Much Quicker (Flows 10% more tha most the competition)
* Plug and Play into OEM Harness (no splicing wire like other EBCS!)
* Factory Fit with clean install
* Works Safely with Factory EVO ECU (custom voltage to match ECU)
* Nickel Plated Fittings as this is Built To Last (not the easily breakable plastic fittings!)
* Easy to Install and Very Easy to Tune
* The Only Direct Bolt-IN EBCS for EVO
Additional Features
* Users can use AN fittings with the solenoid.
* MAC Valve has completely custom made the valve for us(only MAC valve on the market to be custom made for automotive tuning use).
* Specifically designed by GrimmSpeed to work safely with the factory EVO ECU (requires tuning) and to reliably handle the vibrations and temperatures of your engine bay!
* The only direct “bolt in” design for the EVO. Direct bolt in mounting bracket and hardware included! (specify which model before ordering)
* Faster response and greater flow than any other valve out there. (by more than 10%!)
* Nickel plated brass fittings. (unlike the competitors failure prone plastic fittings)

I was about to say this is pretty revolutionary. This thing seems pretty awesome...and reasonably priced.
Just might have to check one out. What a great idea for a product.

I was thinking of going with pneumatic fittings/lines and this controller. Do you guys know if the compressor outlet pipe is aluminum or carbon steel?

Subaru's are the same valve just with different wiring. I have a grimmspeed on my WRX and got a 68HTA to hold 23psi all the way to redline.

Link to turbo to give you some idea of what size it is. Basically a Stock 8 turbo with a 7 blade 47lb wheel in it.
The control is amazing and it will control ANY amount of boost without any issues.

subscribing. Looks like a great product. So this is basically plug and play. After the install a tuner can adjust the boost control settings through the ECU.

$109.99 shipped and based on the small size it will likely be upgraded in our shipping department to 2 day shipping at no additional cost, we like to get the product in our customers hands ASAP

I am not familiar with the Tactrix unit, but the Subaru guys have been using the GM for quite some time and apparently there was a need for something with better control which is exactly what this unit delivers, not to mention this unit is plug and play and includes a mounting solution
