Restrictor Pills
Ok guys,i'm in the middle of installing the profec b,and i found that i have the pills(orifices) build inside the nipples.So after a search i see that you must drill the pill for the wastegate .But i wonder,will it be a problem if i leave it there?I mean everybody says "drill" but not why..and its a pain to drill that little bastard..Also I have to remove a lot of stuff to clean the leftovers..So,drill or leave?
Let's think a while about the TOTAL turbo control system.
Jee:
1) just not use that tube and block it off.
2) use a "T" fitting connectd to the common turbo outlet small tube in the "Y" pipe. That is the one that supplies pressure to the pressure tank. It is a better place as it see's the real combined turbo boost and does not have any pills.
See it wasn't that hard! One must learn how to analyze.

Take a couple of shots of OUZO and relax. Believe what I say. I have owned my R1 since June 1992, and work on them for fun and profit!

As I understand it, you must drill out the restrictors if you want to control boost across the full spectrum of its possibilities, i.e. ~8 psi up to whatever. If you don't drill them and upgrade other airflow related components (IC, intake, exhaust), you may find that you are overboosting and/or spiking, and without drilling the restrictors, your profec WILL NOT reduce those conditions.
Note that you can pretty easily pull that little tree right out of the primary housing. Get a vice-grip style pair pf pliers, carefully clamp them onto the body of the tree, twist up and down while pulling. Comes out a little TOO easy...
