does that kit have the restrictor in the intake pipe? if so, did you take it out? and you used the stock kit downpipe or did you have a bigger one made?

Re: few pics of my 99 turbo si. (not so civic)
why would you need to take the restrictor plate off the intake pipe? my greddy kit has this too, is it better to take the plate off?

He had a 2.5 mandrel bent down pipe made for the turbo.
The reason he is using the 2.5 (as am I, we use the same tuner) is he just prefers to tune with them on non over the top kill setups. They will read up to 20ish psi and have (according to him) a better low RPM/idle resolution to make it easier to make a very streetable stock acting car at low RPM's.
He has tuned many a 3 bar as well and they have all been great but for 400hp and below DD cars, he just prefers the 2.5.
Myself and John, we are not tuners therefore we just go with what our tuner prefers as do lots of people when deciding on engine management. Go with what your tuner is comfortable with.

Re: few pics of my 99 turbo si. (I Have an STD)
the restrictor plate is that portion of the intake piping supplied with the greddy kit that has this plate welded over the whole of the intake pipe, making the diameter of the whole smaller... im not sure what will happen with this taken off, but if anyone knows could you please chime in about that... thanks

Re: few pics of my 99 turbo si. (kcjohnnyboy)
i did a quick search and supposedly that plate is there to prevent boost creep on non-intercooled greddy kits. so im thinking of dremeling mine out also

your tuner is right. The 2.5bar map sensor has a better voltage curve.
