Default restrictor pills

Hi . had to replace the 3 pipes on the t-piece to the wastegate actuator with silicone tubing.No problem with doing it, but had to rescue the pills from the old split pipes.I was under the impression , from you clever people on here, that there was only one present , but there was two in separate pipes. Just was wondering if anyone could explain this ? car is 2000 turbo uk

Agreed, just replaced a few of my wastegate pipes with silicone and that's the only one I found in my pipework, 1997 UK Turbo.
