They are fitted as standard. Removing it will make it run around 6/7psi.

Without the restrictor then the BCS can never flow enough air to incraes boost over wastegate setting, so it will sort your overboost I guess, but not how you want it to, its not a 'boost restrictor' as such!

Just out of curiosity are you running a de-catted newage STi without a re-map ?

If you are running a standard car then there is something going wrong ...I'm just trying to think who your nearest scooby specialist could be ?

Yes the BCS control functions and open loop target are remappable to sort you over/under boosting,
