Actually the restrictor in the supply hose is the result of a requirement in a standard, the flow into the suit shall be less than the outflow capacity of the dry suit dump valve.
I personally believe that the flow limitation sucks...
I hope this isn't from the manufacturer. There is no explanation of what tech is doing, why he is doing it, or how it is being done. A few words would be helpful.
A restrictor is there in case something goes wrong (busted inflator hose). That way you can breath as you surface.
Yes it's a simple fix, but one has to wonder...why did we need a flow restrictor in the hose in the first place? If too much air is going into your drysuit STOP pushing the stupid inflator.

Mine was a black one and it just fell out.
I thought SITECH had fixed their issue with this hose system, you know when it would just pop off on its own?
But thanks for the heads up YE4 batch.
