I've got the $58 DIYAutoTune EBC solenoid. It uses 1/8 NPT fittings, and has three ports.
I have two external Tial wastegates, 38mm mv-s.
The basic diagram I'm going off of is this one posted in DIYAutoTune's Q&A section for the EBC Solenoid.
So that image is for a single external. The easy mode would be to use a second solenoid. But is that necessary?
Tial recommends and includes 1/4 inch fittings for use on the wastegates.
The Solenoid can have whatever fittings I screw in, but the holes are not very big. Maybe 1/3 the diameter of the 1/8 NPT inlet. I have 1/8 NPT to 1/4 barbs, but what good are they if the solenoid can't flow what it needs to?
So my desktop engineering question; I'll be splitting a bunch of these hoses off to feed both gates. Does anyone think I'll see a boost control issue doing this? Should I buy a second solenoid and just control them both with the same megasquirt output?
