FYI the MAC solenoid that honda uses does not have the upgraded viton oring and internals to 90C temps. the standard solenoid only goes to 30C after that the function of the solenoid becomes semi erratic. Basically the hotter your engine bay the more the fluctuation in boost not to mention the life span of the solenoid itself is diminished.
