Yea but its gotta be the same exact one if not you gotta retune, I rather buy something thats gonna last n retune have no more problems, mine cost $80 on ebay, the aem is $100

 

This is the one I have right now

When u pop the new one it just dial the duty cycle back a smudge if you are worried and make a pull. If boost feedback is setup then it shouldn't be bad.

 

Sounds like a bad MAC. The location is fine. Mine sits less than a foot from my turbo with no issue. sounds like it has an internal short when it starts to warm up. 30$ for a new one

 

The AEM is a MAC with a AEM sticker on it.

 

Buy this and be done with it

You can pick up these solenoids at grainger for like 30 bucks. Not sure of the model number though.

 

i would buy one of those new ones off grainger but if i buy a different solenoid then i have to retune , ive been messing with my solenoid a lil bit more before getting a new one . when i disconnect the solenoid completely i dont boost more then 6-7 psi , that is stock boost. now when i plug it back in , it will boost to 10-11 psi , so its working but not hitting full boost that my car was tunned for , it should be showing 13-14 psi, now when i start my car from a cold start and give it a pull once my car is warmed up it works, it boost full boost like its supposed to , it only stops boosting full boost when ive been driving the car for a while and the solenoid gets burning hot then it goes back to hitting only 10-11 psi . and its not the area i have it in thats getting it hot, i think its the solenoid itself overheating . will some kind of internal short , or faulty solenoid cause this ? what you guys think ?

 

You need to check the AEM Calibration and make sure the duty cycle for the solenoid when the engine is in vacuum isnt crazy high.

 

anyone elses input on this? bump
