where ae th restricker pills ment ot be on 2000 model a uk turbo

not the best at spelling


cheers guys

 

someone please help?

 

If it's a 2 port boost solenoid then the pill should go here, this is the standard solenoid which came with the car so it should be as follows unless somebody has modded it:



Between the compressor and wastegate vacum pipe.

And heres a 3 port boost solenoid and this pic gives you an idea of where the pill goes on these.

 

Quick question, my air intake to resonator is not connected. If i remove the restrictor what difference would it make?

Cheers, John

Is yours a 2 port or 3 port?

 

Hi mine is the 3 port, bolted to the inner wing

 

John you have PM

 

PM'd you back mate

 

so they only one pill on a uk turbo?

 

YHPM

 

Yes only the one pill you may have a second in the vacum line of the boost gauge mate.

 

thanks mate

 

would that cause the car to have a flat spot?
if its missing?

where can i get one from?

 

You can get these restrictor pills from the dealers mate.

I changed my vacumm hoses a while back & through this pill in the bin with the old hose & i was suffering from flat spots too.

Pop the new pill in & im sure you'll be sorted as it worked for me.

 

thanks for that mate,

so i need a pill to go in the boost gauge hose?

to comfirm i will get one tomorrow

thanks guys for helping me

 

Yes it will remember to get a selection i think they go 1.0mm 1.1mm 1.2mm and so forth will allow you to experiment with what works best.

Or a mapper could tell you exactly what should be used.

 

The restrictor pill in the gauge vacum line won't help though.

 

im trying to find out whats wrong with it,
everytime i put my foot down it hits flat spot @ 3500 rpm

its been on a dianostic machine nothing came up...?

been told the restricter pills maybe missing...

i thought there was one near the boost solenoid?

 

From Subaru dealer you can order 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5mm in brass for around £2 each. Very unlikely he'll want the 1.2 or 1.5 on a '99 car.

sorry to hi jack but what dose it do and is it the foamy thing?

 

IIRC UK Car with TD04 is 1.2mm , VF Turbo's STi are 1.0mm
I know I normally fit a 1.0mm pill when re-mapping the 2001> WRX.

 

So on a P1 say thats boosting to 1.75bar !!!!!!! If i increase the hole would it lower the boost?

 

yes,
if it's boosting 1.75 bar I would also clean out all the pipes and pill with carb cleaner as it sounds like it is nearly blocked (if the car is slightly overfilled with oil and it blows into the pipes)

 

its run like it since it was bought approx 2 years ago and everything is very clean.

Goes well tho, but after a bit of safety now tbh

 

i have a my04 wrx, if i fit a 1 mm restricter it will up boost? is that correct?

 

Guys guys, more boost brings fuel cut and trust me you don't want that. Unless you go for a full map/ecu or you can cut a corner with a fuel cut defender but it's not advisable.

 

not without a remap

 

Do you mean a restrictor in the line to a boost gauge or a sensor? You have restrictors in boost gauges to stop the needle going crazy, some have then on the back of the gauge others have them in the t piece.
