In effect we are just running a 'low blow' turbo setup on a car that has high boost pressure.
The challenge we are going to have is to get the restriction small enough that it doesn't dump too much exhuast away from the turbo - but not so small that it is still going to over pressure the EM.
Would be possible to do the same thing with a larger external wastegate - as the problem we have is that the internal one is not big enough to divert enough gas away from the turbine housing....
That however would require a fair amount of pipe re-working so this is the easisest compromise...
just have to get the bits together and then see how it all pans out... (it could still fail but if it stops HGF then in one respect it will be a success...)
