The way to remove it is to get a remap but you will still have the limiter just at higher rpm

As said it needs a chip for the ecu and it can be raised to 6500-7000rpm
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

You would have to get a remap or
Go for a stand alone management

There are company's that sell generic chips, just Google it as I've never got one so can't recommend anywhere

Why would you want to remove it anyway? You'd just fry the engine after going past its limit

Not to mention after about 7k the gearbox will spinout and not give anymore

Cars aren't designed to drive without a limiter
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
