Removing solenoid brass restrictor on a R33 gtst

[poop]

I've heard a lot about removing a brass restrictor in gtr's to up the boost abit, but what i would like to know is if this trick works on an r33 gtst? is it safe (my bro has a TOTALLY stock car)? what boost level does it increase to?

thanks in advance!

I had the boost restrictor taken out of my 33 GTR and if I could find where I put it, I'd put it back in. Since then, boost has been uncontrollable. Regardless of settings on the electronic boost controller, boost peaks around 1.3 bar, not good with standard internals and fuel system. Even if I turn the boost controller off, still 1.3 bar. Something to think about anyway.

works on gtrs not on gtsts theres a hge thread about this. i remeber is was about some helicopter mechanic or something and then everyone started arguing.... do a search you'll find it, i was looking at it the other night. its also about 5 pages long too

Willo: Maybe your turbo actuators are acting up. Hence allowing boost to build till 1.3. or possibly, if you're lucky? You may have aftermarket actuators. Just my thoughts.

Hi guys, the brass plug isn't really a "boost restrictor". It is a "suge restrictor", it slows down/eliminates the pulses of pressure and gives a more even signal. Leave it in.

Hi Sydneykid:

so i gather that i should leave the brass piece in for an r33 gtst and dont use it as a means of increasing boost with the standard solenoid. is this correct?

now i have a question about my car for you:

i have a blitz dsbc spec r in my 32 gtr and the standard solenoid is totally out of the picture. should i leave the brass piece in for the blitz solenoids?
