Here's somehing else to be careful of...the gear pressure on my EVU5 was considerably different than my air compressor guage. The pressure on the EV was 30 to 40 psi lower than the pump. Oddly, the pressure readings were about the same in the brake system (that is, the EV pressure and pump pressure were the same).

In any case, make sure the pressure on the EV is accurate. Agree with Chad that you should remove the restrictors and see if it works better, then experiment with restrictor size/location to get the movement you want. If its still sluggish with no restrictors, then there may be a problem with the EV or some unintended restriction in your installation or nose retract unit.
