Default So who sells a restrictor plate for the P1SC?

I heard ECS but no small Procharger parts listed on their site and they did not answer my email. Where can I get one without driving there?

If you can see a picture I would say you could make one for yourself!

I think that is what i would do for myself!

It shouldn't be too hard and you could find a "REDUCING" washer in the Electrical section at Home Depot in various sizes that will fit the outer diameter and the inner can be reduced to the size you desire by knowing what size you are going too!

These pieces are for Services that take the 4" or what ever incoming pipe diameter there is and will reduce it dwn to the size that one needs 3", 2" etc.

Check it out http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100175634

Thanks,Matt

I made one with duct tape on my filter :o I know its almost ghetto but I needed something to restrict airflow because I sure don't have enough fuel. The filter is not a restriction for sure because I have dang near 80% taped up to restrict it to 5lbs of boost. Hits 7lbs otherwise and car breaks up. This is with a 4.25" pulley.

I was thinkin' of sliding panty hose over the filter. Just keep sliding on more layers until until you get the boost you want. Would act like a pre-filter too. Might even make water bead up and roll off.

You can probably find a pair under your passenger seat.

They do however support all the parts that they have produced in the past for procharger and even some newer ones.
The restricter plate for either the " ECS " pax or pro kit would be the same.

Why not enough fuel? The stock pump is supposed to be good for well over 500rwhp. What injectors are you running?

60 lb injectors. Stock pump probably on its last leg. 99k miles Fuel pressure at idle is only about 45-50 and with the BAP it jumps at most to 55. Just changed the filter, was definately a restriction and helped out a little.
