Indeedy. Perfect opportunity to find a dealer who isn't clueless. 1.2mm restrictor standard on all MY99/00 UK turbos!

pete from scoobysport has said I would have had a restrictor standard on my STI MY03.
Anyone know what size that would be?
I am getting 0.78bar with an aftermarket 1mm restrictor and not knowing what to do next..

MY03 STi is probably 0,8, 1.0mm is too big.

With sti8 and ppp installed what sort of peak held boost then high rev boost levels should I expect? mine kinda hit 1.23 B then tails off to 1.12 bar... thought it should be more 1.3 ??

Just wondered!

cheers bob

The cars in the garage today being checked over...

So the standard STI8 has a restrictor fitted as standard? and so when the garage fitted the new one would they have removed the existing one?

I am totally lost, the garage who fitted the d/pipe for me has never heard of this small "brass plug" in the piping between the t-piece and the turbo...
