So what about the false advertising over the phone? Granted, I'm not mad about the $5 difference, but at least tell me the truth on what the cost is (yes, I made sure twice how much it was, shipped, even after I gave him my address).

I don't work there, why don't you call them and ask about it? Talk with Brice if you have too. I mean honestly, complaining about something that was most likely an honest mistake on an open forum . Do you honestly think they want to alienate customers for $5?

REmove the restrictor. It's the most important part of this mod. The hose disengages the clutch faster but taking out the restrictor makes it so that the clutch doesn't feather automatically causing it to burn a little every time it engages. Before I did this I could always smell my clutch even under normal driving conditions.

It was really easy to take out and should go back in smoothly. Just a spring and plastic piece is all it is.

Where is the clutch restrictor located? I'll be doing this mod along with the new SS line.

It's in the slave cylinder under the turbo. Black chunk of metal that the hard line goes into. remove the banjo bolt and it's under the bolt.
