Yes you will need restrictor pill to run correct boost. Fit a boost gauge and see what boost you are running..

Hopefully your not overboosting!!. Get a gauge wired up and see whats going on

And then fit a restrictor pill to get the correct boost. Go to machine mart and buy small mig welding tips. They sell diffrent sizes and work perfect

Has someone fitted silicone pipes and thrown the originals with the pill away by any chance as many have done just that.
