The New Ipd Hd Turbo Control Valve Review


Recommended Posts

the factory TCV (not BCS as much) are failing in as little as 5-7K miles in more extreme cases.

So you're saying there is a TCV and a BCS? :huh: I thought it was just a different name for the same part. Boost control, Turbo control, same thing no?

If you can get a factory BCS for $40 new that is some deal. Volvo retail shows $100.12 for part# 1271630. Where are you getting such a good deal on the BCS?

either i misunderstood or the part is cheaper for 98 x70.. part# 9155936 - turbo solenoid valve, retail is $45.

To rephrase my question, can the Syclone solenoid work as a drop-in replacement on a stock tune provided that i can fabricate a wiring harness with the pigtail described below

The reality is that virtually any solenoid will work, it's just a matter of wiring it up and connecting the lines.

The solenoid IPD is using is just a standard industrial solenoid that's commonly used in automotive aftermarket boost control setups. I happen to use them with some other tuning devices and have had no problems using it on my S60. It seems they've done a great job on making it a drop-in affair and the price is certainly reasonable.

SHould be able to get the connector from the junkyard, looks like a common GM piece,

It looks like the description for # PT374 has changed, but based on the pictures of each part it looks correct. It now says:

ACDELCO Part # PT374

Category: Coolant Level Sensor Connector {2-WAY FEMALE BLACK M/P 150 #12102747}

ACDELCO Part # 214474

Category: Turbocharger {#01997152}

The fatwallet thread has a new discount code good until 8/29 - "451727416688". It's only $1.55 in savings but hey, I'll take it

Saving another $2 by having it shipped to work instead of home (business address is cheaper)

$30.99 subtotal, $5.07 shipping (to business address), $1.55 discount, $34.51 ground total. Paid with my dividend card for 1% cash back, so $34.16 out the door

Can probably find cheaper with a little searching.

chaze1385,

will you be giving us a photo updates of the Delco install? i am interested in how you will make the wiring harness w/ the pt374 pigtail to work w/ the volvo bcs connector.

speaking of which, i happen to have a pt374 pigtail in my parts bin from my GM days, they are also the connector for GM's windshield washer fluid pump. :lol:

I'm going to try one of these, it's cheap enough. I have a new Volvo TCV in there now, so it'll be interesting to compare.

from local GM supplier, 17 bucks wholesale, plus couple of bucks for a weatherpac pigtail. I use old 2-pole O2 sensor plugs to avoid cutting factory harness.
