R32 Gtr Boost Restrictor

[PuCkStAr]

hey all,

Thinking about taking out the boost restrictor on my r32 gtr until i save enough money and can actually get around to getting an EBC for full range control. Any pros/cons? thoughts?

Have many ppl done this before?

I am aware it sits in the vacuum line, but is it easy to get to and remove...?

thanks

the boost restrictor in my 32gtr was removed b4 i brough my car. running 12psi and holds it really well, according to the dyno graph/

i dont think it is too hard to remove, i have a guy that worked at an import spare parts place that owned a gtr show me what to do.

ya just have to find the hose it is in and squeeze behind it until it come out the end or replace the hose if u wanna keep the restrictor in the hose for any reason

ah ok cool thanks

yeh i think ill just have a play with it this weekend.

are the any negatives though with regards to taking it out? cos obviously it wouldnt be worth putting back in (too much trouble)

wow about 12psi, i was told after taking it out i would get only about 10psi, which was still better than stock 7

I've pretty sure you'll be running closer to 14psi if you remove it.

Negatives include the potential to blow one or both of the exhaust wheels of the stock turbos. If you're really unlucky, you could also get reversion of ceramic dust and munch your engine. Another possibility is that your air/fuel ratios will be out of whack with the potential to run lean.
