Well at least you found the culprit.
wrong...

the smaller the hole the more pressure it will build causing you to over boost

taken from cobb

If a restrictor pill with a smaller hole than .052” is used then the turbo will over boost which can cause severe engine damage. If a restrictor pill with
a larger hole than .052” is used then the vehicle may not be able to hit its boost targets.

but it wont... the bigger the opening the farther away its going to be from targeted boost


a pill with a smaller opening will cause you to overboost... you have it backwards
