Hi guys,

i would like to know what in the world is this ???
i found it stuck inside one of my silicon hoses when i remove some of them to install my boost controller....

these hoses are meant to either connect from the precharge and wastegate solenoids..... i just realised that it's inside my hose... no idea if it came out from the actuator pots or came from the solenoids...

or is this those so called restrictor pills?

 

yes thats the restrictor pill ...


you wont need them with the boost controller....

 

Holy hell, man...resize that damn picture

 

I suggest that you reinstall the prespool pill in an oem length prespool line. The pill with the smaller hole is the one that goes there. You may have a difficult time getting proper boost control with no pill in the prespool line.

 

Haha, thats funny. Makes you look for it thought. Its like wheres waldo


=Ben

 

without the restriction pill you stock setup twins will only make 7 psi max..........so put it back in if your boost controller uses the stock solenoid to control boost. If you are using boost controller that comes with its own solenoid, such as Apexi AVC-R, then leave it out.

 

And if you lose them you can use Holley jets, #59 and #64 I believe.

 

ahahahha sorry for the large picture... only way to see it clear...
i have a blitz dual SBC boost controller, i believe i can leave it as it is...
no problem with my boosting...

just wonder how it can get into my silicon hoses ?

 

 

haha...i got one for ya. Find Dale!

 

a ball bearing works, car will pull better too.

just kidding, except for the pulling better part.

 

It is how it's designed for the old version stock twins. FDs made before 1996 (I think) have the restrictor pills placed inside the vacuum lines at the pre-control actuators. The later versions have them built in.

 

damn changed my hose with factory one, I saw the old one had it but didnt think it really mattered, will it affect the boost that much, should I reinstall it??

 

if you are running stock twins and stock boost control solenoid, then you will make only 7 psi max without the restrictor pills

 

I'll have to try that when I get stateside then, haha. Maybe THAT'S why my car isn't running, haha.

 

TPO must have known what he was doing as he reinstalled it when the hose job was done.

 

HAHAHAHA lol
