Are you talking about the turbo restrictor pill? If so I think you need the one that matches the turbo.

I don't think there is a serial number, just an engine code, like EJ255 or EJ257. That code can be found under the alternator, stamped on the engine block.

Why do you think you need a restrictor pill for the turbo? Having any problems?
