Boost Restriction

[BLUELINER]

ive got an r33 gtst series2 and im not sure exactly where the boost restrictor is. i know that it is somewhere towards the front of the engine bay underneath where the air filter sits but i cant figure out which 1 it is. if i pull it off how much boost will it run and will it damage my turbo in any way if i have a stock intercooler.

Hey mate,

I wouldnt play with the boost restrictor on a original ceramic turbo if thats what you have. The ceramic turbos will handle a little extra boost for a while but they will end up in you exhaust manifold and destroy your cat or worse, get stuck in your engine block. If you wanna play with more boost i would recommend buying an aftermarket turbo and a boost controller. Its not worth the little extra power for the cost of replacing pistons and head gear when your ceramic blows.
