Pics would be helpful, thanks!

 

Easily found on the Cobb website.

Got it, thanks!

 

nice. soon to be using cobb ap also.

 

Excellent

 

noob question here.... removing this pill does WHAT??? i mean can it be removed without a remap and give any kind of gain or detrimental effects????

 

It allows more air either going into/or exiting the boost control solenoid, since this ultimately becomes the wastegate actuator signal I wouldn't start removing/altering them without it being required by a tune or installation of manual or electronic boost controller.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

ok here my Q , how can i put it back in
the pill which direction ?

 

this is NOT as easy as it sounds... on my 08 X GSR i cant even get the hose off the connection to remove the pill.. i bought the cobb tuner i used it then i decided to remove the pill to remap for stage two... i tried and tried over and over pulling on the hose.. it stretches .. but will NOT come off the darn connector... i gave up and remapped to stage one where you dont need to remove the pill. hehehehe

 

use a long allen wrench... thats how i got mine out.

 

or you can get a new tube without the pill in it. if you can't get it out.

 

pliers work well to get the clamps off the end

 

with a hot engine bay and some pliers the top tube will come off easily.. if you have to use a screwdriver "pick" it's a pointy end driver to hook the hose as you, slowly but firmly pull the hose off the barbed end. once that is done then take a small allen key wrench to put slide in to the hose while pushing the pill out.


I've done this process a couple times and it's worked for me. as for the pill direction.. i didn't make a note on which direction it should be.. but ive never had a problem either way.. a hole is a hole.. unless it's supposed to have a "venturi effect" then the direction would be important.
