Can't remember?

I am in the middle of doing a vac. line job and I remember some people talking about forgetting about a restrictor or something inside of one of the vacuum lines. (Yes I tried searching but couldn't find it) Can anyone tell me where this is at? I just wan't to make sure that I don't miss it and throw it away on accident.

Thanks

The pills are in the two big vacuum hoses running into the turbo actuators. They are basically the two most forward and bottom vacuum hoses on the turbo assembly. If you have a 94 or 95 turbos, the pills will not be present (moved the port to the nipple).

DON'T LOSE THEM OR GET THEM MIXED UP.

I only managed to find one of them? Is there ever any reason to remove one of them?

If they are removed, you most likely will fail to 7psi if any. You need to make sure they are there. If not, I'll get you the mazda part numbers.

I run no restrictors in my lines (drilled out the nipples). 8.5-9-8.5 psi boost pattern with DP and RB duals, everything else stock. Not as brutal, but plenty quick for Seattle traffic...
