wrong side, on a 2port - the pill should be in the pipe leading off the turbo nose, before the T-piece

Standard size pill is 1.2mm in UK turbo, and 0.9mm in STi

Pipe from the t piece should be connected to the side port of the solenoid, and the vent to inlet connected to the bottom solenoid port

Ye that all good I must be running actuator pressure but if u put your. Foot down
Will boost to 0.7 and keep foot down will creep to 0.9
Now if I fit pill the way your sayin
I hit boost and goes from 1.0 bar to 1.5 possible higher but gauge on has 1.5 max
And car surges and fluctuates between 1.0 and 1.5
