where is the restrictor pill located? And what does it do?

 

What are you referring to? There is no single restrictor pill that can be referred to without context. You are either referring to the stock boost lines (2 restrictor pills) or the clutch system (no pill, but a large restrictor valve). Which is it?

 

boost lines

 

There are two. One is in the long vaccuum hose going from the forward BCS nipple to the Tee. This pill is closest to the BCS. Then, there is a 2nd pill in the short hose going from the Tee to the turbo nipple. This one is closest to the tee.

Now, why are you asking? What are you trying to do?

 

i installed the Forge MBC, do I need to reuse the restrictor pills?

 

No, do NOT reuse those lines or those pills. Do not mess with them at all, because you need to make sure they remain 100% in tact in case you ever need to return to stock boost control. When using the Forge, you need to get 2 fresh lengths of vaccuum hose - one to go from the side nipple to the wastegate actuator nipple and one to go from the bottom nipple to the turbo compressor elbow nipple.

Also, be sure to actually do an advanced search for topics with the title of "mbc install" so that you can easily answer this and many other questions you may come across during installation. This has been written up for your convenience already, so take advantage of it.

 

thanks, I have had the MBC installed for about two weeks now, everything works great. But im still having the issue of the boost not tapering off in 1-4th gear, dont know why it holds to redline. I dont know if it does in 5th or sixth gear have not gone that fast yet. I was just wondering.

 

thats one of the things the mbc is for...so the boost doesnt taper...no taper means more power at higher rpms.. consider yourself in good shape!!!


cheers!! time for a tbe

 

be carefull with no TBE....friend with a Evo8MR turned boost up with everything else stock....asuming to much backpressure and blew his head gasket...

 

I have a TBE thank you very much.

 

Wow. You call that an issue? Why did you buy the Forge UNOS MBC if you weren't trying to achieve this very thing? If you want your boost to taper, then put your boost system back to stock!

Next thing you know, we'll have guys saying their BOV is having issues, because it's holding all their boost without leaking.
