For closed cars equipped with an air conditioning system, the restrictors diameter above must be increased by :
- 0.5 mm for 1 restrictor,
- 0.3 mm for 2 restrictors;

which would mean the Aston can use 34mm holes, a 9.4% increase in area over the GT1 engine, giving maybe 655hp. Nice, but still no Diesel!
The Peugeot 908 does not use AC, so presumably customer cars (e.g., Lola) won't need it either.

So the Aston Martin V12 would need 2 x 33.7 mm restrictors.
