They're not always located at the very end of the hose. Mine were about 2/3rds into the hose. Check carefully.

 

are they very noticable when i look completly through the hose? i have the hoses completly taken off and i look through them and i dont see anything at all. cept the indent on each side from the nipple they connect to. what exactly does the pill look like

 

It resembles a little cylinder/ball with a pin sized hole throught it. It's made out of steel.

 

ok yeah... i definitly dont have those in any of the hoses lol. thanks alot for the info. im going to stop by autozone in a few mins to go pick some up. do these sizes sound right to you:

stock wastegate = .062
stock turbo pre-control = .058

so... will not having any boostp ills lower my boost?

 

The pills control the pressure going into the hose that attaches to the specific Actuators (WG and PC). No pressure or too much pressure will cause the Actuator/Rod to engage (open) the WG/PC Turbo gates abnormally. Thus creating not enough,.. or in certain applications, too much boost.

 

yeah in my case its probally (i hope) the reason why im getting such low boost, maybe? what do you tihnk? everything else seems fine

thats almost exactly what mine is!!! omg i have so mich hope now!!!!

 

Just make sure to place the appropriate sized pills in their respective hoses/Actuators. Good Luck.

 

I was reading that some nipples already have the pills built in, I took a picture of the nipples, does it look like they already have the pills?

so do these numbers sound right?
stock wastegate = .062
stock turbo pre-control = .058

 

I can't really tell from that photo. BUT... they look identical to my nipples. Never thought I'd say that!!

Correct.

 

think they got them at autozone?

 

Here's some pretty good info about Boost Pills and how they effect boost. It was written by our very own MaxCooper.

i went to autozone, advanced autoparts, and napa, and a few local shops and none of them have the pills, they dont even know what they are.... where can i buy them?

 

thanks for the info arexsever, i know understand what the pills do. now the problem is finding them damn things! as for now im just goign to hook up the gauge by getting through the fenderliner/firewall so i can have that out of the way. and ready for when i get the pills. thanks again for all the help guys! all i need to know is where to get them.

Try asking for: Holley Carb Jets

 

Autozone only sells the set of the carb jets, its 40 bucks, they told me to check NAPA, they might sell the individual ones.

 

Find an aluminium or plastic rod big enough to fit snuggly in the hose, but too big fit into the nipple - 3/16 to 1/4" should do it. Drill a 1/16" hole into one end. Cut two peices 1/4 to 5/16" long. Clean the hole with the 1/16" bit. Volia - two 0.0625" pills. Smack the end of one to close it up to .058", which is the thickness of one piece of paper.

 

thats why too much, id rather just buy it or order it. You do need another vacuum hose to plug from the "T" to the map sensor right? then the other vacuum hose thats coming fomr the nipple behind the manifold to the other part of the "T" then the middle part of the "T" goes to the boost gauge. Correct?

Thanks, Manny!

 

Are you talking about hooking up a boost gauge? If so, you're just adding more necessary fittings to the car. There is a nipple on the UIM that you can hook a boost gauge up to.

Since you don't have any pills going to your wastegate actuator nor your turbo pre-control, I suggest you ask someone to sell you a set on the forum. I have the set for the wastegate I can sell you, if you wish.

 

if u get get both sets I'll buy them off of you. how much would you sell the wg set for?
