can of appropriate lubricant... $5-10. No need to ever buy a solenoid again (barring extreme circumstances, of course )

yep... and 600+ posts of anecdotal evidence saying to clean the solenoid and wastegate actuator diaphragm because it has a noticeable positive benefit says that it's not silly, even if double-R thinks it's a myth

 

Open one up and see what you are trying to lubricate. Then get back to me. Does more harm than good. May as well squirt the WD up you arse.

I like my boost control to be of the temporary hydraulic variety.

If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40 (or a more appropriate silicon lubricant, probably)... if it does move and it shouldn't, duct tape!

I tried this method and it didnt do any notable difference, I don't mean any dis respect I'm just putting in my 2 cents.

Replace it they are cheap

New one from ford for a FG xr6 turbo was $52. Got it the other day and drives a lot smoother. Don't see the point in doing maintenance when you can just replace it.

because falcon owners are tight asses 

Except @arronm

 

yer all engineers are loaded

 

but he does save money by buying all his cars in primer I guess
