Default Restrictor pill question

Hi just fitted a 3 port on my turbo 2000 it has 2 restrictors on it one of the bottom pipe and one off the middle pipe should one of these be taken off ? It has got other mOds to it and still wasn't boosting right just found the turbo y piece pipe has cleanly snapped completely off so this should solve the boosting issue but stumped on the restrictors if I should still have two and what size ? Thanks

If you've wholesale replaced the OEM 2-port BCS plumbing for the earlier 3-port set-up, then you won't have that T-piece anymore (therefore obviously no restrictor pill in it).

The only restrictor pill would be the one one in the 3-port BCS's "bleed vac hose", which is attached to the bottom port of the 3-port BCS. That hose should be routed to the intake port on the large turbo intake hose. Or you can leave it hanging free in the bay (but plug the port on the turbo hose with a screw, if you do).

Both 2 and 3 port only have 1 restrictor each.
As in the link given to you, 2 port is in line 1 before the 'T'.



The 3 port has the pill in the bleed hose.
(picture may vary to yours but the principle is the same)




you may well need to fettle the restrictor size to get the best.
