Check Valves - Which type?

[Locki]

Hi Guys,

I\'m refurbing the rats nest as i have a few boost issues, and thought instead of using the old check valves and solenoids i would replace them along with the new hoses.

I read on a previous thread that you don\'t have to get check valves from mazda, they can be any type of check valve, is this true? if so, what do i need to look for when buying them? (i.e size, pressure etc..)

And as for the solenoids, I guess they are from mazda only (or spares from someone else) right? if so, does anyone have a complete set of working solenoids for sale? I\'m not really electrically minded, so i figure if i replace all solenoids with working ones i can\'t go wrong...right :3Confused

Cheers

Kris

well if you want to do it properly you can get uprated solenoids from the US, which come with viton check valves. I have just finished installing mine and they are a fantastic bit of kit. they are made to order though and take a while to come over.

viton check valves, i just ordered some - will se how they work :]

[Locki]

Nice, could you give me a link to the site where i can get them from please? I also kinda need to know what i\'m ordering (not used to this sort of stuff), are they any specific pressure/type/size at all? Thanks for the replys guys.

They dont look right bud, the viton ones are clear plastic and are smaller than the stock ones
