Does anyone know what size restrictor pill my99 UK Turbo is supposed to have currently i have a 1.0mm installed should it be 0.8 because my actuator is opening up at about 0.7-0.8bar causing my boost to cut but it will go up to 1.0bar if it feels like

Thanks Anthony

Hi 1.2mm

ooooooo i thought it was the prodrive people that put the 1.2mm in would that not cause my actuator to open up even sooner than it does now because it will be less retrictive than whats there already

i think it differs on whether you have a 2 port or 3 port boost solinoid i have a 2 port and mine is beetween the turbo and the T peice then from the t peice one pipe goes to the actuator and the other off to the bottom of the boos solinoid

if you have a 3 port i believe it is in the pipe that comes off the bottom of the boost soilnoid but im not 100% sure

and it a very small brass cylinder with a hole through the center of it

ah cool, thanks for that, i dont think mine has one that i can see, i have a white plastic piece that sits by the boost solenoid, will have to have another look

they sit inside the pipe so wont be visable you would have to squeeze the pipes or take them off to check it
