Dimensions of stock compressor-side boost pill?

Does anyone know the dimensions of the stock compressor-side boost pill? Is it the same as that on the Evo 8/9? I've inadvertently disposed of mine and need to come up with a replacement.

IIRC it's roughly a 0.038" or 0.040" ID

I was using a 0.030" MIG welding tip as a boost pill until I went 3-port.

Yup, but I won't have the time to tune it for another couple or so weeks. I was tempted to throw it in now and start tuning, but my wideband is out until my custom exhaust install is done. V-banded turboback (AMS DP, Cobb CBE,) mmmmmmmm.

Whoa, that's tiny. I combed through the Evo 1-9 forums and someone mentioned their stock pill being somewhere in the high #4x, low #5x range which puts it more in the 0.075" range.

Well, FWIW, I switched to a 0.035" pill at first and it made hardly any difference from stock.

Okay, just needed a little reassurance, I'll give it a try. I appreciate the help.

Okay, tried a 0.040" (#60 drill) pill and overboosted as soon as I dipped into the throttle.

I'm going to bore it out to 0.070" (#50) and see where that gets me.

In the meantime, if anyone knows what the true ID of the stock pill is, feel free to chime in.

I honestly can't remember the size of the stock pill but I have a million of them if you need one.

Send me a pm with your postal addy and I will send a couple out.
