Thumbs up

ok i was told by the person who did my engine, that the pill in my boost selanoid line was too small for more than 10 psi. There is a little white thing connecting 2 vacume lines marked in blue in this diagram is that what needs to be changed?

todd there is a pill in there but most of the time they are removed during the single turbo upgrade if you open up the line the pill looks like a small copper piece with a hole in the middle. doubt if your car has it but you can check

If there is a pill in the boost sensor line it will not limit the level of boost you can set. Pills in the WG line are what help limit boost and since you have gone single there shouldnt be any. Pills restrict flow, not pressure so a pill in the sensor line would cause boost spikes and as long as the WG is not undersized boost should still be controllable (drop back to its set pressure)



Hope this helps.
