Please refrain from suggesting a t-peice aftermarket boost controller apart from that all tips and help greatly appreciated

What boost did it run before you lost the pill?
Fit new one and check?

As far as I can see they're both 0.9mm for a 99 JDM WRX and a Newage STI. Boost shouldn't be affected.

Best news I've heard all day! Any chance I could get the link to your source of information? But in saying boost won't be affected it will bring it up from waste gate pressure to the std 14psi correct?

I have it stored in my notes on my iPhone but I got the text from a Subaru forum a while back. I'll copy and paste the text and try to find the actual source later on.
