i'm using this valve. Its a MAC valve, and i like it because it has 1/8" NPT ports which allow easy configuration

beyond that, it had a nice PWM range of 15-85%.   much wider than the GM valve i used in the past.

Part Brand:   MAC   
Manufacturer Part Number:   35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA

good price too  ;D

That said, anyone here using the 2 valve method? (one for the top of the WG and one on the bottom?)  I was told this is the best config (much like expensive aftermarket boost controllers like the AMS).  But is it needed?

I havenĀ“t tried it, but had excellent control using a single solenoid on top and non on bottom.

Just ordered 2 valves from that seller, can't go wrong for that price... do you have a base PID table I can work with?
