I know what you are talking about I talked to someone who did this, but im not sure what size hole you have to drill. If i see him at school before the semester is over ill ask him. I did a search on Nasioc and tons of results came up, but I didnt have enought time to go through them all.

what i did was just use the hose from the stock turbo. no issues

JoeScooby · 05-02-2007, 04:47 PM

Ditto, use the pill from the stocker. Save the vf34 pill for later use if you are going to protune, ecutek tune, ect etc.

**TROLL** · 05-02-2007, 05:35 PM

what they said... reuse the stock lines with the restrictor in them... dont know why they ship the IHIs with anything else, but they do.

Buster · 05-06-2007, 02:08 AM

So, i noticed with my 16g that I wont be able to use my stock lines period. What now? Heres why, it will never reach.

**TROLL** · 05-06-2007, 02:11 AM

i think they should reach, unless i'm missing something...

Buster · 05-06-2007, 02:44 AM

the wastegate actuator is turned about 180 degrees the wrong way.

Even if it doesn't reach, you replace the non-restrictor hose coming off the T with a longer hose of the same diameter and there should be no problems.

redwrxwagon02 · 05-07-2007, 09:19 AM

yeah i just wasnt sure if i had to or not but i am getting tuned on the 23rd ill take the vf34 pill with me i cant wait!

Buster · 05-07-2007, 01:13 PM

wait actually i have one problem. i have 2 sets. 1 for a TD04 and another for a VF34. how can i tell whats what now? last time i tried that with a long hose like you said, my cobb was only letting me boost maybe 15 psi on a stg.2 map. i hit that in first gear with my Perrin MBC on but i never pass 18. couldnt i just reuse that and mind my gas pedal?

redwrxwagon02 · 05-08-2007, 12:36 PM

well my stock restrictor pill is black plastic
the vf34 pil i took out was brass

Buster · 05-08-2007, 05:02 PM

how did you get it out? wont it mess up the hose?

redwrxwagon02 · 05-09-2007, 09:22 AM

ok here ya go
get WD-40 or like 3 in 1 oil
put some in the vacuum line and take an eye glass screwdriver and put a peice of felt of a paper towel around it and slide the restrictor pill out its easy!
