I must not understand something, why are you putting a solenoid
on the turbo feed line? It seems like a good way to ruin a turbo. Tim

There are
some turbo failure modes that damage the oil seal in the
turbo. Even if the turbo freezes solid, you can still continue
with partial power, and possibly no real damage to the engine, so long as you
don't allow all your oil to be pumped overboard through the damage turbo
oil seal. The only time you would close the valve is if you start
blowing smoke, and you figure the turbo is a goner at that point
anyway.
Cheers,

habit)
