Oops, sorry. I read too fast and didn't see the word "solenoid". :redfaced;
-
Mike Licht at Full Throttle Speed was selling one that would work, I believe.
-
Did you try Glenn at NOS4GN.com i know he had them on his site

Hook it up tuner style...and forget about it.

What does that entail?

Somebody (turbofish?) found one on a later truck that was supposed to work, can't find the thread at the moment. Plenty of used ones available.

VORTEX BUICK:
The factory solenoid has been discontinued. This number, ACD214-1073 which was used on the turbo diesels, will work in its place and is a lot cheaper than the $100-$200 that some vendors have been asking. I understand the connector does not lock as original but the connector does plug into the solenoid. This solenoid has two ports just like the original.

What does that entail?
Do away with the Y-Connection...and hook a vacuum hose from the port on the turbo directly to the actuator. Leave the solenoid plugged in...or it'll kick a code.

Connector differences may require Caspers 108167 adapter.

that is a reasonable price
-
Ye - Rock Auto has it for $27.79.
That part shows compatibility with GM Turbo diesel motors? Who knew?
-
I have a new original here if you need it for a show car but more but 2x the $30 price from Rock Auto which looks pretty close.

Thanks guys for the info...i`m going to try this one unless one of you guys have a used one laying around

I think there's still one on my valve cover, disconnected. I use the RJC boost controller.
I will check, but I think mine is pretty beat up.

For ~$30.00, get a new one.

I just orderd one....thanks anyway

Why on earth do you want to give up boost control? :rolleyes:
-
Boost is rock solid on my car...and I read a post one time by one of the top turbo gurus who stated the soleniod was designed to handle stock boost pressure...and there was a chance of a boost spike at a higher boost level using the solenoid.
-
boost control is handled with spring pressure. A potential downside with pure tuner style is a slower initial ramp up due to the actuator opening gradually before it is time which bleeds off some of the intial spool up. This is the reason the granger style manual controllers became popular...no boost reaches the actuator until just before the opening point....this emulates the chip control technique of holding the solenoid open initially before reverting to duty cycle control
If one has a bit too much converter for the tires, then pure tuner style can sometimes soften the initial hit.
-
I do enjoy the programmable boost control options in the MAFT Pro. I sold off my manual boost controller parts a while back.
