boost pill question

The pill is on one side of the 't' between the turbo outlet and the wastegate, feeding the solenoids. Is it supposed to be closer to the turbo outlet, or the wastegate?

found out through experimentation. If the pill is closer to the wastegate, boost will rise to 14 psi and hang there for a while before finally climbing to where it's supposed to be. If the pill is closer to the turbo outlet, boost climbs to peak immediately.

waiiitt a minute...that little gold pill that your supposed to cut out of the wastegate hose when installing a Manual Boost Controller is supposed to be put back in on the turbo outlet side to make it go to peak boost and hold ? and not fall back down ? cause im noticing in 3rd gear pulls I peak at 25 then drop to 15 lol

it's supposed to go to peak and drop like that. Mine was going to 13, holding, then going to 24 and dropping back down.

Does some one have an accurate picture or where the pill goes and connects.. The correct way.. Sorry, I would like to get it right the first time.

Basically is the hose with the pill reinstalled exactly the same way it came out?
