Will lack of boost pill cause inaccurate reading from boost sensor.
I have no pill in my line.... and my boost sensor reads 1 pound of boost when my autometer gauge reads 7. WTF? I have checked for ECU codes and there arent any.... I am pretty sure I have it narrowed down to some bogus wiring near the turbo but I just wanted to see if the boost pill could possibly be it.
Thanks

Short Answer is "NO", it won't cause that.

The pill is there to damp boost spikes and prevent premature triggering of the overboost fuel-cut.
