I bought the hose from Shokan, 
_http://www.shokan.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=572_ 
(http://www.shokan.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=572)     It appears to have a restrictor build into it.  Part number off the 
hose  is:  443 498 892C.  I think I remember reading on their web site that  
they only deal in OEM or OEM supplier parts.
 
 Thoughts?
