yes it needs to be done via a remap

i know there are remaps in the us for your cars, but they arent like the turbo remaps world wide...

i can specify any speed to have the cut set at, although 99.99999% of re mappers in the uk cant do this for you as they just upload a program they have stolen from someone else...

talk to the remappers in the us, and if they have infact developed their own remap they can then change the limit, if they havent then they cant help you cos they have no idea and are just selling s file that was emailed to them from europe...

but yes it can easily be done..

i had just the limit increased on mine as they tuner was still developing the map, and when he was finnished then the full remap was uploaded, but in the beginning just the limiter was edited

An ECU remap will take care of it. I have the Veloce ECU remap, it removed the speed limiter. It also helps a lot with shifts and acceleration.

Veloce Performance did the remap (I sent it to them directly). The result was really nice. It also semeed to quiet my BPP exhaust some. You can order the exhaust thrugh Smart Madness I believe (check their site).. Not sure about your other car though sorry!

But WE don't have the turbo yet. So would that matter?

well if you live in greece it's easy as!

next door in italy most of the tunes originate from there!

piasini engineering is where my turbo remap came from, even though on their site they dont list the 451.
