Is this something you've considered or decided you dont need. I am quite happy with my PS feel BTW.

Just thought I add something that I was told and know nothing about.

I reckon he was probably right with the flow restricter in the system.

On my pump there is a fitting that screws into the pump body and retains the pressure reliefe valve assembly. This is what the high pressure line then screws into. There is a very small hole in this fitting that the fluid has to pass through and I believe this is the flow restricter. I'll try it with the regular line and see. It's easy enogh to add one later.

Cheers
