Most insurance invisible way of upping boost?

[Nick_Walczak]

Can you get actuators that look like stock items? Or are there other crafty methods?

Well you could try the restrictor trick.
Martin describes it well,

But you would seriously need to consider a boost gauge first which would also blow your cover. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Forgot the couple of washers on the actuator trick. And the bending the actuator arm. But do get a boost gauge to make sure that you arnt gonna break anything.

The restrictor trick sounds cool. Has anyone tried it? How much did it increase the boost by? http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Also check the free 0-60 mod posted just below - removes boost limit on 1st and 2nd gears.

Do the actuator hose mod with a temporary gauge and set it up
Remove gauge and leave it alone
That's the way around the insurance thingy

Sorry to be dumb but is that the same as teh restrictor mod?

[goosegog]

Erm, I'm not sure what's been described as a restrictor mod but it may have been the bleed valve mod here http://www.users.bigpond.com/webspace/180sx/my_mods.htm
In which case, yes that's what I mean

Goose: No it's not a bleed valve but it's on that link you posted just underneath the section about the bleed valve. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

It refers to 180SX and Silvia. I have a UK S14a so I don't know if it also applies to my car or not.
