32 Gtr Boost Restrictor

[J - Rad]

okay so I bought this 32r last october. fitted trust frontpipes and kaki regu catback. other than that its a standard GTR. I start reading about the 'boost restrictor' this morning so I figure I'll have a look to see if I still got it. I checked both hoses that run into the solenoid and I can't feel it in there so I'm not to sure but my opinion is that its been removed. I do some follow up research and find that removing it should see me at 1 bar or 14psi and that on the standard GTR gauge that +7 should be 14psi. I decide to take my car around the block to see where it gets to on the gauge and it just passes the middle bar between 0 and +7 which at a guess would mean I'm running the standard 10psi. Now my question is what could possibly be stopping it running at 14psi and which of the two hoses to the solenoid should the restrictor be in? I've been told its marked with a yellow stripe which I've found to be the top hose thats one the bottom of the solenoid, but others tell me that its in the thicker harder hose that comes off the right of the solenoid and goes under the plenum.

It should be right where the yellow strip is that is why the strip is there, 10psi is less than stock (it should be 12psi) 10psi is waste gate pressure so i'd say the solenoid has the hoses the wrong way round or not plugged in properbly or is buggered

i also removed mine and didnt make more then standard, and thats with aftermarket front pipes, hi flow cat and 3.5" cat back zorst

Yeah was just told the actuators won't open any further than what they are set too normally and a boost controller will sort that out. When you started running higher boost did you have any other problems? Or need a tune?
