Hello,


I bought a used evo x that was over boosting and I pinpointed it to be the hose assembly going to the compressor and the pill that was inside of it. After replacing it, I cut out that pill and this is what it looks like. It's massive and has a hole in middle like a pill would but again, huge.


It looks like it has 030 on it and it was over boosting to 27psi.

Thanks for the help,
Rob

 

Still no one has an idea lol. Stinks I wonder WTF the previous owner was doing?

 

Update: Found out it was a MIG Welding tip



WTF?

 

ghetto boost pill what up?!?!? lol

 

No kidding lol. Fortunately everything is working fine now!

 

Good to hear! I bought a "built" evo 8 a few years back and we couldn't tune it correctly due to knock issues, turns out the previous owner broke the threads off the old knock sensor and put a new knock sensor somewhere random on the block, forget where. Why cant people just fix things the correct way?! so frustrating

 

Wow, thats nuts. My car came with a boost solenoid and intake, but im doubting there was a tune on it (only got a Lean CEL though). People are idiots sometimes huh? Now im stage 1 with all stock parts.
