Electronic boost controller
"Great product installation was cake and the shipping was spot on had it within a few days and the communication was great will definitely be buying from again could ask for a better product and company"
The GrimmSpeed MazdaSpeed3 Boost Control Solenoid is designed to work with your factory computer (tuning required). It will not reduce the life of your factory computer because it is designed to draw the same amount 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.
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 MazdaSpeed boost solenoid market, we have created model specific install brackets that allow you to directly fit our Boost Solenoid into your MazdaSpeed 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 MazdaSpeed3 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 MazdaSpeed 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!
Easy for your shop or tuner to tune! (Engine tune is required!)
"The GrimmSpeed 3-port BCS provides rapid boost response while maintaining the ability to make acute adjustments via turbo dynamics. While many other boost control solenoids react to adjustments too fast which can make them difficult to control with as much finesse as the stock bleed system. This solenoid can make micro-adjustments at the edge of target boost not only providing better spool, but overall more control."
"The GrimmSpeed BCS is a compact, well designed unit. Its design as a 3-port solenoid provides better boost control then the stock bleed-type style. Often, this enables a tuner to cut mapped wastegate duty cycles in half. This change in WGDC gives a tuner more granularity when tuning, and can yield much improved boost curves. In addition, the 3-port design often significantly improves spool."

"Got the product within a few days of ordering it, all parts came packaged neatly Got a bnr turbo for my speed and read up online that this is a good thing to have to read boost more accurately, 10/10 would recommend this to anyone In the market for a boost controller!"
"Tubing included sucks Note from GS staff: Jordan, did you contact our customer service folks with your problem? In 7 years, we've never heard of a fitment issue. Also, the tubing, while it may look less appealing than silicone alternatives, is OEM quality gates rubber hose. We've found it to be more reliable than silicone vacuum hose."
"Best product for the money. I am running 19 psi. The car just never ran smooth. After installing the Grimm Speed EBC the engine runs smooth and keeps boost pressure better."
