Okay I pulled the hose off with the yellow stripe and I can't feel anything in the hose when I squeeze it. That would tell me that the thing isn't there. But when boosting my standard gauge only goes to the 2nd to last bar on the gauge..

What do we think is going on?

The hose feels pretty stiff as it is, though.

Mines still got the restrictor in it but I pulled out the hose and put a light into it to see the restrictor.

I'm scared if I take it out, bang goes the turbo's lol.

I can't remember what the bars on the gauge actually stand for... like isn't the 2nd bar like 10psi or something?

I think the second bar up the top of the gauge is close to 14psi/1bar. Would be great if someone could actually confirm this though. f**ks me what them standard measurements are in

Which hose is the restrictor in? The bottom or the top?

this picture seems to be pointing to the bottom one which is the thicker of the two. But the top one on my car is thinner and has the yellow stripe that everyone says the restrictor is in.

I'm confused. But if its not there and I'm not running 1Bar on my standard guage.. it opens up a whole list of problems I could have..

1 bar = approx 14psi.

measurements are in mmHG which is the pressure of mercury - roughly said its the amount of fluid pressure exerted by one mm of mercury, so 760mm of mercury is equal to the sea level atmospheric pressure (1 bar)

Scientific measurement, NFI why they put it in a skyline, either bar or psi would have been much better

Thats cos u make captain slow look fast mate ;D

cheers Ben....if that saves me some $$ then so be it......thrashing is for the track

[Weezy]

So max measurement of +7 or whatever it reads is very close to 1bar of pressure?

i have been told that +7hg/mm = 1 bar which = 14.5psi

if a parcel was posted from QLD on monday morning..

when would i receive it?

I BETTER HAVE IT FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!! farken

[CRoNic...]

I'd have to check after work. Pretty sure it's the bottom one - one of them should only have the yellow stripe.

I had a parcel delivered 2 days later from Sydney, was picked up monday - at my door wednesday morning. There can be delays - human error etc

[J - Rad]

+7 is pretty much 14psi exactly. I'm on the bar before it. So at a guess 10-11psi

Chronic my yellow stripe is on the thinner top one.. :S

im gonna sneak into your garage tonight and cover those two hoses with as much yellow tape as i can find.

As a hilarious twist of fate. If I put the restrictor back in I'l probably run 1bar.

I had a parcel sent from melbourne on the 21st and it arrived today e-parcel

[craig R33]

can i ring aus post to see if its here??

i know it was sent, i just want it my the weekend!!

[Dohmar]

i have been told that +7hg/mm = 1 bar which = 14.5psi

correctamundo, 750mmHG = ~1 bar so the +7 = +700mmhg = ~14psi

you'll need a tracking number, like steve said if u got e-parcel u can check it on the web

otherwise give the adelaide cbd post office branch a call, they can possibly tell you if theyve a) recieved it or b) sent it off to a regional office

-D

[craig R33]

they said 5 business days, if i dont have it tomorrow, ill cry....

......srs

[Weezy]

correctamundo, 750mmHG = ~1 bar so the +7 = +700mmhg = ~14psi

Finally thats cleared up, although that was always my suspission, my car loves 14psi lol
