What does the factory boost pill look like?

Even with owning two evo's now I still have yet to have one come with the stock boost lines or factory controlled boost. Can anyone snap off some pics of what the factory boost pill looks like and where it is located? Is it just a bleed?

I'm having some problems with the new evo not being able to get above 18 psi even with a MBC hooked up (turbo xs basic bleed type)

I was going to say AMS' photo is very misleading in terms of the size of the pill...

there are 2 different pills in the boost lines, one of them is pictured above with the line running from the wastegate and the other is located right before where the two lines run into the boost contol solenoid under the airbox
