Are these the lines with the factory boost pills in them?

Bear with me as I've never seen them before (whoever had my FD before me took them out) so I'm not sure if these are right.

A guy on the board is trying to help me out but he isn't sure either, and we wanted to check to see if these are the right lines I need before I purchase them.

Depends what year turbos. Part way through 94 they stop putting pills in the line.

I have a 93, I'm not sure what year these are off of. But typically, are these the lines that would contain them? I'll have him check as well to be sure, but I wanted to be 100% sure before I buy them as I could always just ditch the pills and solenoids completely and get a manual boost controller if these aren't correct.

Those are the lines that would have the pills, attached to the stock wastegate actuators. You can also just look into the vacuum line and see the pills - they're not too hard to spot.

Each actuator will have one line with a pill, and one without.

I know I know lol...just want to hook it up stock first to see how it runs before I start messing with the controllers. Then again, I guess I could just hook it up with a MBC and run 7 lbs of boost completely turned off, then mess with it until I hit stock boost. I hate this car already

Check REAL good, 'cuz my '93 didn't have any pills in the lines, they were built onto the turbos like the later model. Maybe the turbos had been replaced by the former owner or something, but I definitely didn't have pills.

He found the two lines that have pills, we just didn't know if there were only two since there are 4 lines and only two had pills.

Thanks guys
