Unknown parts falling out of turbo line

[Rock2610d]

Well, I broke the vacuum nipple at the T that feeds actuator, from T-25 compressor housing and stock BCS.

So, I used a screw driver to push the broken plastic nipple out of the hose. Guess what came out with the broken plastic nipple....a restrictor?


I know the BCS has one and I removed mine. I had no idea this hose had one.

Wonder how many of these just get tossed and no one ever realizes it has a restrictor in it? Could cause some people alot of headaches wondering why they lose boost.

Interesting, I know about the "mod' to remove the plastic reducer, but that's a metal one!
Makes me want to start pulling hoses and look....
Maybe the PO put that in to reduce vacuum?
