Can I just double check that the picture on the scoobypedia link for the 2 port diagram is correct?

Is it correct that the resistor pill goes in the pipe on the turbo housing side of the T-Piece?

PM me if you need one
Is this the case for all 3 port bcs? I know some suggest the pill goes back in on the 3rd port which vta or back to induction pipe?
I'm going to fit my 3 port this weekend so will leave the pill out if it's not needed.

is that a classic 3port or an aftermarket? I would sometimes stick a pill in the vent port (one that can go back to the intake pipe) on an aftermarket 3 port just to smooth out the aggressiveness a little - classic 3ports are generally OK without the pill though.

Wind the boost up! get yourself a wideband afr and some det cans to check it, retain the oem boost control and either increase actuator tension or smaller boost nipple or both. I would say you run the risk of running rich and retarded rather than too lean and advanced (depending how far you push it) good idea to monitor the ignition advance now and after with a scan tool in live data, if its pulling more than 1 degree per .1 bar then its retarding too much.

It's the SWRD Pierburg bcs which is the same fitment as the prodrive,I will try without the pill and see how it goes,I will back off WG duty 40-50% to start then slowly increase where needed.
