    NTC 350 Turbo VT50 Rebuild kit?????

    I thought about this, but the jake switches are also 12v, thus Im going with the 12v solenoids and wiring the setup on its own 12v lead from the dedicated 12v fuse block off a single battery. side note, the intake heater plug on the military 250 is 12v as its wired directly from a single...

    NTC 350 Turbo VT50 Rebuild kit?????
