BTW, your pic isn't quite right. If the restriction must be before the tee, not after it. See the pic in that link.

If not, you've disabled the factory boost control and won't be running as much boost as you should be, nor will it be boosting as quickly as it should be. Did you remove the boost control solenoid as well?

I just wanna make sure its not somehow hurting my car for the pill to be there.
Oh, and I have a MBC, just not using it right now. It was in the car when I bought it, and I took it out while working out bugs.

I am familiar with that link. If you look at the diagram you will see that the pill slows down the build up of pressure behind the pill.
So what I said is true.

Sorry bout the thread from de dead...
NZ,
I just finished and have a stable running Microtech LT-8. One of the neat side effects of the install is the fact that the boost control solenoid ('91) is now not functioning. Would the easy solution be to install a MBC cutting open the old line and reusing the pill?

Does the LT-8 have boost control?
A MBC would be the cheapest option. If you're using a home-made bleeder type then you really need an adjustable restriction to set it up correctly (the link above explains why), so the stock pill is probaly no good. If you using an different type (pressure reg, ball & spring) then no restriction is required.
An EBC is still the better option...

Okay, have a simple question again.
If I get a ball and spring MBC, I remove the pill from the line correct?
Can I mount the MBC in the place of the stock s5 boost control solenoid?
