Just wondering whether or not a dc4 gsi is factory equipped with a rev limiter?
My car cuts out when it reaches 7000 revs. Should it? Should i not rev it so hard - can i cause damage?

wouldnt make much difference on a stock motor but.
rev limiter is set to that level for a reason.
with a stock motor, "beatin the bush" that hard will probably produce very little gains.
once u have done some internal work like cams, pistons and balancing, then u can think about reving it past 7k with the help of an aftermarket ecu.
Just got my car of the dyno and im making power all the way to the red line.
My SAFC got retuned and went from 109hp to 120hp on a HUB dyno torque was round the 176nm
what does SAFC stand for? Why are you spending so much money on a near stock engine? Why not just go turbo all the way?
well my goal is to make as much power as i can with out having to run a spastic amount of boost, the more N/A power i can net the less boost ill have to run to reach my goal.
