I'm saying there are two pills...my telepathy isn't working too good right now so I dont know wether you are missing both of them or not I know I have said this like 45-1/2 times, but if you are in the middle of doing this project, pop-off and fork out the 5-10 bucks to get a needle valve from a hardware store...

Don't do it unless you have serious boost issues that can't be solved by snooping around for hoses that have popped off.

I've had seriously like 5mins of seat time in my 7. But when I did drive it for that little time the car felt extremely slow. but I'm not sure if I have boost issues cause for one it doesnt have a boost guage and I'm new to rotaries and 7s. If it was a DSM I would be ok. But this is a whole new beast. I havent had much time to snoop around the engine bay much yet also. Ive just been comeing here and absorbing all the info I can.

Home Depot and Lowes were both out of that needle valve... Jimmy is sending me a pill though.

My best friend has a 300ZX TT and he hangs around on twinturbo.net and they said that some kind of welding rod tip works the same for their pills.
