I think most people believe that #1 is the one that is used for WOT but just set all of them to the same thing and you should be fine. I'm using the Tephra v5.10 ROM and I only have one table and it works fine but that's what I did before I switched to the Tephra ROM.

i'm using #62 hole and i can get boost to hold. it will spike to 24 psi at peak boost and then taper off to 17 psi. i want to hold to 22psi.

it will hold 22 psi with a Perrin or manual boost controller, so there's nothing wrong with the turbo or boost leak.

i have the pill at the T at the turbo outlet. what else can i do to get boost to hold.

Can someone please confirm this for me? Is that pill's hole bigger that the one near the turbo? Thanks

Here's another question

The Solenoid also has the second restrictor on the output side between the solenoid and the air cleaner inlet pipe.
Is the 2nd pill after the solenoid/before the air intake or is it before the solenoid/after the T? Mine's before the solenoid

There is two pills.

One right before the solenoid. This pill smooths air going into the solenoid. Modifying this pill doesnt do much in regards to increasing/controlling boost. And removing this pill actually makes boost control less consistent.

The second pill is between the turbo and the T. This is the pill that you modify so you can raise and control boost.

And regardless how it came, its best to either A) buy a 3port solenoid if you want to do ECU boost. Or B) buy a MBC.

If you're not sure you're car is right at the most basic level you should find an expert that you trust locally. cross reference what you learn here with what you learn there.

Thanks.
I'm just quoting what looks like incorrect statements to me. I've been fiddling with Audis before this car

That statement you quoted (which was made by me, on my personal account. Yea, I wrote this How-To) is NOT incorrect. The pill by the solenoid has a bigger hole then the pill by the turbo.

What kinda Audi did you used to own? Im an ex B5 S4 owner.
