Help...Stock Restrictor? Not 3/16" Mod..

Hi Everyone,

I need some help...About a year ago, I did the 3/16" mod...now for some unknown reason, I began looking this up thinking it may be adversely affecting my boost with my Cobb Accessport....sure enough...all threads I read point to a definite "Do not do!"

Well, of course, I tore the place apart looking for that dang namit thinger majigger...anyhow, no luck...

So the question is...does anyone have one just laying around that they would like to sell me? If not, anyone know of a place I can get one? If I remember correctly, the piece had an 1/8" opening but on one end, it had a metal, brass "restrictor". It looked to be a pretty small opening...

I also do not remember which way this brass "restrictor" pointed...toward the driver or passenger side...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...I will try and attend the meet but I have to be at work at 8pm that night...

Thanks in advance,

Brent

Just did some more research...

I must have confused myself...Krinkov had a good visual...I thought there was a brass piece that fit inside the connector...

The brass piece "restrictor" everyone talks about is actually in the hose next to the turbo (not the piece that most people replace when doing the 3/16" mod)...the piece that everyone replaces as the so called "3/16" mod" is a replacement of a 1/8" barrel vacuum connector with a 3/16" barrel vacuum connector...


Here is the link...very informative...thanks to Krinkov.
