can you remove the rev limiter? if so how?

Welcome to the forum.

 

What RPM is you vRS limited to?

What is it you are trying to do?

 

Maybe best see a Tuner if you want your Mapping changed.

I'm interested - since the DSG can deliver full-throttle non-interrupting changes, why?

& it can rev to 7,000 if you wanted to,

100 mph at about 6,200 in 4th if you so wish.

(In 'S' its revving like a stupid thing anyway.)

I dont know why you would want to rev the poor little sods tiiits off any further.

 

redline it on a rolling road and you'll see why there is a cover over the turbo #glowingblower 

I'm curious - the gearbox changes up before any rev limiter will kick in anyway (plus without a map change, it produces no useful power over about 6500rpm anyway - or thats how it feels).

Is the rev limiter not there to protect the engine from blowing itself to bits?

If max power is before the redline, it seems abit pointless to me anyway?

Pretty much that. Only time you'd ever need to raise the rev limit and rev past peak power would be say you had a massive stupid turbo on a car and when you changed at peak power/rev limit you dropped well out of boost. Then it'd be beneficial to rev higher than "needed" but it's a moot point as it doesn't apply to 99% of cars.

& that includes the vRS Twincharger Engine.

 

This is for the earlier ones up to 125 kW, rather than the later 132-136 kW CAVE/CTHE with different Maps.

(where 6,000 rpm is given on these engines in the link, 6,200 given for the vRS & its 3 sisters)

 

but this gives the idea of the Torque & Power Band. Supercharger & Turbo Boost ranges. (page 5 & 13)

A word or 3 of warning before going ahead with upping the Engines Output,

'be sure it is a good one first and all the basic stuff is OK'.
