artmor79 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hello! I have a BNR 16G that is a few years old, I was working on my lgt 05 and i noticed the vacuum hoses are way old and brittle, so time to replace. I have a question on that Vacuum lines on the turbo, it does not have that stock line with the restrictor pill in it, is that needed? can i just replace with regular vacuum hose? or do i need to get that pill from subaru? any help is much appreciated Edited October 10, 2019 by artmor79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmor79 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I looked around the Junk pile and I found the oem pill, but the size dont match up and i have no clue cause i keep reading that the pill us needed but do i buy some size converters to make it fit? or maybe since the turbo is not stock i dont need the pill?

Keyan Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 if you are using an aftermarket boost control solenoid (which you should be), you should not be using a restrictor pill. post a picture of how it is set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmor79 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 thats what i'm missing then.. i bought new hose and ran it to the stock BCS, i cut the pill out of the stock hose and inserted it into the new hose that i bought, all seems to have worked out but now that i know i am going to order a aftermarket BCS and run the hoses without the Pill. thanks for responding!!!!

artmor79 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 no tune, i had planned to get it tuned and all that but the mechanic that first worked on it ruined a bunch of stuff and i had to re-buy and learn to do it my self. the car runs now but i get that boost creep light during hard acceleration now. i will get the EBC and then see if i can it tuned, even if its an etune, should be better than stock tune for sure. for now i have been driving it as is as i have no other option.
