The scrutineers checked it at every single race back in the day. What made the cheaty restrictor so awesome was that the very act of checking it made it pass inspection.

That would be cool. But they said it'll likely just be S2000 class for now which is the lower class. WRC is boring now because there is very little manufacturer competition and the cars are very different from the production cars in which they are based. The Group A class in the 90's was the best. Cars based closely on production models from Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Ford, battling on the roughest roads in the world like Safari Africa and China. Now the roads they race are relatively smooth and Loeb dominates everything. :P
