That's what I'm starting to think - the pill/restriction only serves to slow or dampen the actuation. Eventually the pressure will be there.

thanks BoOsTin FD and Mahjik, i have been trying to fix my boost problem for months and today i was reading a thread and someone mentioned pills so i did a search and found this thread, when i changed all the vacum hoses to silicone i never put the pills back in, good thing i saved all the old hoses after reading this thread i went to the garage and put the pills in the new hoses, so thanks guys.

 

You're welcome

 

I was having boost spike around 16 lbs. so i fuond out i could drill out one of the pills a little to lowwer the boost. problem is i still have the spike of 16 lbs. under full throttle. i think i drilled the wrong pill. I used a 1/16 (.0625) drill. And yes i did remove some material. will this cause any problems. and what size hole do you think i should drill the right pill. i still have the stock fuel system but maintained. the motor and car have 30000 miles and dont want to blow it up.

 

Are you boosting to 16 psi, or spiking to 16psi? What are your mods? Stock ECU?

 

spiking, only second turbo. 3" turbo back, pettit retuned ecu, underdrive pullys, hks power flow intake, air pump unpluged and no more a.c.

 

Drilling the pill in the wastegate line should help, but it may not get rid of your spike. I suggest a manual boost controller on the wastegate line to fine tune it.

 

would a manual be better than a electronic. i was thinking of getting the greddy profec b II.

 

all this talk about NIPPLES is getting me going!

i do have a BRAND NEW profec b spec II that i am willing to sell.

why? you ask... because i don't have any boost issues!!!

will

 

I here ya!!!!!! how much you asking?
