Another restrictor ring/boost question, shame on me

[Chris and Alana]

Apologies for bringing yet another restrictor ring question to the forum but I would just like to ask before I do it. I have a first decat and a nur spec R (Iv kept the second cat on the car) and still require a restrictor ring. Now I recently repaired a boost leak but I now create 1.1 - 1.2bar boost, now this wouldn’t normally be a problem but I also have an EBC so I would like to know if any harm would come if I used a restrictor ring that held boost back to stock levels or there abouts (0.8-0.9bar maybe) and then used my EBC to increase to a max of 1.2bar for those spirited moments. I think what I’m trying to ask here is would reducing the boost as far as stock with a restrictor ring do any harm to the engine? And then with so much restriction would any harm come to increasing to 1.2bar now and again? Thanks for any help guy's

Ive done this with my Supra.

Im running at 1 bar for normal driving and 1.4 (hybrids before I get jumped all over) with a boost controller for as you put it Chris Spirited driving.

 

Hope this helps mate.
