Question

On the MY99/00 the standard restrictor was 1.2mm if IIRC....

Did the PPP for those model years change the size of the restrictors - or did many PPP cars require it changing?

No, it's the same exactly size but from what I know some cars need new restrictors (>1,2) due to overboosting problem even if they aren't further modified. I haven't yet problem with mine (MY00-PPP) but Mr Banks could help you as he had this problem with his car. On the other side our climate conditions are so differents!
Hope this helps you mate.

Forgot to mention I haven't had overboost problem so far and except the PPP I added recently an PE exhaust manifold and Magnex downpipe.
As you can see from my Delta Dash log files I have 15,5-16psi (depends on ambient temp) steady boost pressure on 4th 5th gear and car is very smooth. Our temp this season is 30-40 Celsius degrees, will see the difference on winter temp.
