GM boost solenoid and boost pill question

Is anyone using a pill (stock or modified) at the compressor in conjunction with the GM 3-port BCS? I keep reading that no one is using any pills.

It is not needed. I thought about that too but the adjustability in WG Duty Cycle are enought to control boost.

No pills on my Perrin setup. I'm able to hold about 22.5 psi at 100% duty at 7500 if I want ... I don't want currently.

No pills with my GM 3 port, and I think as a general rule Bryan doesn't use them with the GM 3 port. However, I'll let him chime in on that.

No pills here. 75% WGDC gives about 1.7 bar on stock actuator, without any mad preload, and more boost up top then my car likes.
