I have a Apexi PFC, and I think it allows you to set the rev limiter to any rpm point (JGM has mapped it to 7,050rpm). So, it can be done... but it is a bit of a "sledgehammer to crack a nut" solution.
Actually, doesn't the ECU cap revs to 3,500rpm (or is it 4,500rpm? ) if the speedo head is just simply disconnected?! But then your mate might get more speeding tickets through the post...
Regardless, nothing will be able to stop them thrashing it from stone cold!

Having the rev limit change with coolant temp is a standard feature on some ECUs.... although it might be a little extreme to swap the ECU just to stop someone thrashing a car from cold!

I'm looking for £100, it is very easy to install... i bought it for the ignition cut rev limiter but now have a Simtek fitted.
I am located in east London
Thanks

the problem is actually hitting the limiter is not nice on the engine..
just put a single piece of hose between actuator and compressor cover.. they will only then have low boost to play with.

Yes eggy, get your mate (or you) to temp bypass the BCS by simply running a vac hose from comp nipple direct to W/G actuator nipple - that way they only get to flirt with c.0.5bar (sorry for sounding like an African Grey parrot ).
Sorted though.
Er, that'll be me then lol (not anymore though, Simon).
