Boost Restriction Query

[joe-ep91]

I got showed by a couple of lads who own GT's how to take off the boost restriction on my glanza, but whenever I take the boost restriction off my oil light comes on after a while. Is this normal? My oil levels are fine so what does it mean?

Any help welcome, cheers.

It's perfectly safe,you obviously have another issue.I would suggest you check oil and check oil pressure and your oil pick up could be blocked. Check for leaks too,may only be evident under load tho.

As Paul said, you wont have any issues bypassing the restriction.

You might have a bit of crud in youre oil line..

You only need the smallest fragment of metal, grit etc to block a line and cause the oil light to come on.

Remove one pipe at a time, and give them a thorough clean and check for splits.

Also have a general look for any leaks or splits in the hoses.

Get the car idling and get under it to have a look, any little drips etc, wipe off and keep an eye on to see if its still leaking.
