Restrictor Pill - will this work?

I know there are hundreds of threads about this little plastic magic maker, and my dumb *** threw it out on accident.

Will this ugly piece of junk work as a replacement?

Ill probably have to get one of those too, if it'd be ideal to have and not go without it.

I have a ton of stuff to install, taking off the emissions will hopefully make it alot easier

Does it need to be closer to the engine or closer to the MAP sensor?

Would the stock one from Mazdatrix be a better Choice

This is why I hate this forum from time to time. You can find 6 answers to the same question and them you have to try and decipher which one is correct!

I feel you on that, then people get mad that you're asking a question that supposedly already been answered, idk about you, but I get that alot.

Personally I'd rather do what I know what works then try 5 different things and then come up with a conclusion.

Everyone's opinion can differ, and the results can be different depending on the given variables (setup/mods).

Not really. I usually only post a question about something already answered because there is not just one single definite answer.

I guess I'll just go buy the thing and hope I don't waste my ******* money.

So whatever pill I use, needs to be closer to the MAP right?

From the factory it is usually a few inches or so from the sensor.

I'll try it tommorow and see how it goes. The hole, just eyeballing it, looks about like the factory orifice. If it becomes and issue, I can always woller that thing out a tidbit.

I will post back with results.

LOL, have you lived in Texas your entire life?

Woller usually means to consume yourself, or alternately, to carve something out.

Haha, yes I have. But I haven't heard Woller before. Just add that to the internal lexicon...
