Default RESTRICTOR PILL?? PLEASE HELP

Hi all, I HAVE A 95 WAGON, JUST A QUICK QUESTION, THE PIPE COMING OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE 3 PORT BOOST SOLONOID GOES TO THE PIPE AFTER THE AIR FILTER. IS THIS THE PIPE THAT SHOULD HAVE THE RESTRICTOR PILL IN IT?
SORRY IF IM BEING A DUNCE

standard brass restrictor pill should be fine for any turbo. it just needs to be mapped with that restrictor pill in.

when i bought mine someone had replaced the pipe and put a white piece of plastic in it with a dodgy hole drilled through. found this out because the pipe disintegrated at full throttle causing the turbo to over boost massively. called importcarparts who supplied me with a genuine subaru brass restrictor already fitted in the T piece pipe section that goes into the actuator. cost £34.

had it remapped once fitted and it runs amazingly now. i have a vf34.

It depends if your running a 2 port or a 3 port boost solenoid.If its the latter then with a bigger turbo you dont need the restrictor pill.If its a 2 port you do
