I would raise your limiter based on where your car makes power. I make peak power at 7800rpm and it holds flat till 8100 so thats where I set it, I also have 4.08's so the extra rpm's can be useful.

I dont personally see a prob w it set that high and I have yet to hear anyone mention it being a problem either. All in all I dont think it makes much difference but its nice to be able to take it there if you want to, just personal preference I suppose. You wont regret gettin the UpRev though, its AWESOME.

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll have to wait till my car is on the dyno getting tuned to figure out what to do with the limiter.

I think you will wanna be at 8k. Like I said I wish I went that high. The car is making all its power way up there so it only makes sense. Getting it dyno'd was so much fun, I had a kid getting his 2012 STI tuned drooling over my exhaust note Get the rest of your bolt ons on Blades and get that biatch tuned, you will love it.

Definitely. Getting G3 intakes installed on Thursday and will probably get HFC's early next year. After that I'll be ready for a tune.
