It is a small piece of metal, maybe .25" in diameter that is threaded on the outside and has a hole on the inside. Changing a carb jet is sorta like changing the pulsewidth on the injectors, it changes the amount of fuel the engine gets.

For this forum's purposes we use them as "pills" to tweak the boost since you can buy them in many sizes and they fit tightly in a hose.

I did a GOOGLE search and found explanations of the question on the first page of sites.

it works like a boost controller. when you get a chance, search for carb jets or boost pills.

I currently have a Dawes Device hooked between the Y pipe and WG actuator, but i still have the hose going from the WG to the solenoid. What im trying to figure out is, do i put a carb jet on the other side of the WG and disconnect it from the solenoid?

BTW: Thanks for the responses
