Perhaps I was being basic in my reply, hell, you could just remove the hose and boost till kingdom come.
I'm appreciate your replay and many thanks! There is no need to go extreme..however I did that too

But generally speaking, fitting restrictors is not a thing I’ve heard on these cars.
Like they say..there is a first time for everything!

Restictors from what I understand lower boost, changing size or removing completely, ups boost. (I used to have a r32 gtr which worked like that).
These cars don’t have restrictors, so nothing to remove as such to up boost.
That's true and I agree with that...however it will depend on what do you want to restrict..actual boost pressure to manifold or to wastegate.

I’ve been around these cars a long time, on the uk and us forums and first I heard of anyone fitting a restrictor to raise boost.
I could be completely wrong, and it is a thing, just not heard of it.
Yeah I remember that as you've said it earlier! Look I don't really like to boast or make myself important..
However just to make you aware that I'm not been working at the McDonalds all those years! I've done pretty impressive conversions...that's include a stock Mitsubishi Lancer Sport 2.0l 4g63 n/a roughly 135bhp and 176 Nm from the factory !Converted to somewhat Mitsubishi Evo!
FWD with 5 speed gearbox with quaife diff with over 100k on the clock on the gearbox and the engine which were fully rebuilded.. 4G63N/A block and cylinder head. Mahle pistons and Monkey rods. Results are pretty impressive and as far as I know is the only one car in UK! If you find another one that would be great!
So it made about 290bhp with 416nm of torque which pretty impressive considering value for money and the car made pretty impressive Kill List!
Also if you look at the forum posts dating back to 2018 regarding 3sge Rev3 or Rev2 block converted to 3sgte I've done it in 2019 and my project was originally started in 2017!

What you are talking about though is fooling the tvsv, as opposed to controlling the tvsv which I was I was referring too earlier.
Well.if you're looking in to it really I actually don't really fool the tvsv technically. The TVSV still doing is job as planned..to bleed the air or pressure. Most importantly! That is still operational and controlled by ECU unlike aftermarket crap..EBC electronic or manual boost controller. It might save your engine too...!
