1mm Restrictor in pipes on CVT

Anyone know which pipe should have the restrictor in it on a CVT?

I've seen it shown on other posts to be the one from the bottom of the carb but on wife's CVT it is in the one from the rocker cover to a T-piece. Is this correct or should the restrictor still be in the one from the carb base which will slow things down to the 4way valve as well.

Any info or pics of the CVT layout would be great.

yep that's all correct :D

it should always be in the hose from the rocker cover to the base of the carb.
on manual car's this is a single hose.
on a CVT car there is a T-piece inbetween the restrictor and the carb base that leads to the EMV's upper connection and the declutching servo (just like you described)

Cheers volvodspec, just wasn't sure if i'd changed something on that ages ago while looking at it today.
