Boost Controller Accessories

Upgrade, repair, or finish your boost control setup. Shop Perrin Pro electronic boost control solenoids for Subaru WRX, STI, Forester XT, Legacy GT, and Outback XT, plus Turbosmart eB2 and eBS parts, including 3-port and 4-port solenoids, a replacement head unit, re-loom harness, switches, LEDs, and 66mm dash and roll cage mounts. You'll also find Turbosmart Fuel Cut Defenders in pneumatic and electronic versions. Subaru solenoids are matched by model and year, and Turbosmart parts are built for specific e-Boost controllers, so confirm compatibility before ordering. All products in this category are for off-road and competition use.

What's in the Boost Controller Accessories?

Subaru boost control solenoids

The Perrin Pro electronic boost control solenoids replace the factory boost control solenoid on specific Subaru models. They're commonly chosen by tuned owners who want more precise and consistent boost control than the factory part provides. Each one fits a specific generation, so match your model and year carefully:

  • 2002 to 2007 WRX and STI, and 2004 to 2008 Forester XT
  • 2008 to 2014 WRX, 2009 to 2013 Forester XT, and 2005 to 2009 Legacy GT and Outback XT
  • 2008 to 2021 WRX STI
  • 2015 to 2021 WRX and 2014 to 2018 Forester XT

An upgraded solenoid responds differently from the factory part, so the ECU calibration typically needs to be adjusted to match.

Turbosmart e-Boost parts

The Turbosmart accessories are designed for the e-Boost2 (eB2) and e-Boost Street (eBS) controllers.

Solenoids. The 3-port solenoid kit commonly suits internal wastegate actuators and single-port external wastegates. The 4-port solenoid commonly suits dual-port external wastegates, where it controls both the top and bottom ports for firmer control at higher boost.

Head unit and wiring. The eBS replacement head unit restores a damaged or failed display. The re-loom kit replaces the wiring harness for repairs or a cleaner install.

Switches, LEDs, and mounts. The microswitch, orange LED, and 66mm Dual Shift parts support controller functions and indicators, while the 66mm dash and roll cage mounts let you position the controller where it's easy to see.

Fuel cut defenders

Many factory ECUs cut fuel if boost exceeds a preset limit, which protects the engine on a stock setup. A fuel cut defender limits the boost signal the ECU sees so the cut isn't triggered at higher boost. The FCD-1 is a pneumatic unit and the FCD-2 is electronic.

Because it overrides a factory safeguard, a fuel cut defender should be paired with a proper tune, fuel delivery that supports the added boost, and boost monitoring. On engines that can be fully tuned, adjusting the boost limit in the ECU is commonly the preferred approach.

Common problems

  • Boost spikes after a solenoid swap commonly mean the calibration hasn't been adjusted for the new solenoid, or the hoses are routed incorrectly.
  • A check engine light after installation can come from a solenoid connected to the wrong circuit or, with a fuel cut defender, from a boost sensor reading that doesn't match the ECU's expectations.
  • Erratic boost or a controller that resets commonly points to a damaged harness, poor ground, or loose connector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Boost controller accessory questions usually come down to fit, whether a tune is needed, and what changed after installing a new solenoid or fuel cut defender. The answers below cover the most common problems, including boost spikes after a solenoid swap, check engine lights, erratic controller behavior, and fuel cut at high boost, plus how to choose between 3-port and 4-port solenoids. Subaru solenoids are matched by model and year, and Turbosmart parts by controller model, so confirm compatibility on each product page before you buy. For help with your boost control setup, talk with your tuner or contact our team.

Do I need a tune for the Perrin boost control solenoid?

Typically yes. An upgraded solenoid responds differently from the factory part, so the calibration is commonly adjusted to match.

Which Perrin solenoid fits my Subaru?

Each solenoid fits a specific generation of WRX, STI, Forester XT, Legacy GT, or Outback XT. Check the year and model on the product page.

Should I use the eB2 3-port or 4-port solenoid?

The 3-port commonly suits internal actuators and single-port wastegates. The 4-port commonly suits dual-port external wastegates.

What does a fuel cut defender do?

It limits the boost signal the factory ECU sees so the ECU doesn't cut fuel when boost passes its built-in limit.

Is a fuel cut defender safe?

It removes a factory safeguard, so it should be used with a proper tune, adequate fuel delivery, and boost monitoring. Adjusting the boost limit in the ECU is commonly preferred where possible.

Why does my boost spike after installing a new solenoid?

Common causes include a calibration that wasn't adjusted for the new solenoid or hoses routed to the wrong ports.

Will Turbosmart eB2 parts fit other controllers?

Generally no. They're designed for Turbosmart e-Boost controllers. Confirm compatibility before ordering.
