There has been a long-used method to simplify this system as shown here: http://www.robrobinette.com/turbo_sy...lification.htm. There are also countless threads on the forums pertaining to simplifying the system. Basically, this cuts down on all of the solenoids except those needed to properly control the turbos. In other words, it eliminates the emissions and miscellaneous solenoids.
The system that I have shown here is basically takes the idea outlined on Robinette's site, and improves it. The advantage here is that the new solenoids are much more reliable, they're much more compact, and it cleans up the "mess" under the UIM.
The great part is that I can custom build the system to do anything you want! I just recently got a PM from a gentleman asking if he could use these to upgrade the 4 turbo-control solenoids, but keep all his stock emissions solenoids (for smog testing). Sure, no problem! Basically, the best way to explain it is that these solenoids are extremely improved direct replacements for the stockers.
Hope that helps to clear things up.
Oh yeah, Group Buy has been approved!!! I'll be posting a GB thread later on today!

All,
The last group buy went extremely well, and you guys completely cleaned me out. Even the extra systems that I built were sold and shipped. There has since been a few additional people that have expressed an interest in purchasing a system. Is there enough of an interest to initiate another group buy? Please let me know if you are interested in a system (please note: prices subject to change relative to the last group buy).

Rob,
Love the "cleaned up" look I am interrested in ordering a five solenoid system from you. Couple of quick questions.
(1) I recently had to pull the uim off, to replace the oil injection lines........in so doing i realized how brittle the harnes was under there, do you suggest getting a new harnes? if so, any idea where to get one.
(2) I am still running a stock ecu with full exhaust and blitz intake. If I go with the only five solenoids do I need to upgrade my ecu right away?
(3) I have heard the good/bad debait on non-sequential.........do you have non-sequential solenoid setup?
last question I promise.......when running five solenoids, I assume you have removed the air pump is there any other thing that is eliminated by going with the "fantastic five"?
Sorry for the long thread, Super nice job on the solenoids, and thanks for puttin' a couple more sevens back on the road to recovery.

(@) Stock ECU and full exhaust is never a good idea...make sure you have great boost control, you may have to port your wastegate if it's not done.
(#) Non-seq requires no solenoids
($) Air control valve and all the hard lines running to the cat.

Update
Just a heads-up for anyone that's interested:
Another order for solenoids is currently being processed. After this one, I probably won't do another GB for quite some time, so if you're interested make sure you place an order as soon as possible. Closing date for this GB is 27 Jan. All orders must be placed prior to that date.
More details are on page 6 of my GB thread. Here's a quick link for easy reference:

Please let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns/etc.
Thanks for your support!

Last call on these upgraded solenoids. Orders need to be in to me by the end of the day tomorrow.
If you are interested but cannot make the suspense, then let me know. It's very possible that we may be able to work something out.

HDP, with regards to your question: Individual solenoids are always available. They will come with the same high-temperature molded coil, viton seat, SS internals, and properly spec'ed orifice, ports, springs, etc. However, prices may differ slightly depending on the specific configuration that you need. Function direction (2 or 3 way ports), and requirements for fittings (empty ports, nipples, breathers, filters, etc) may alter the price slightly. I request that anyone interested contact me for specific details. Thanks
