Removing it will obviously stop the speedo but it will also restrict you to about 3k revs if I remember right it might be 4k. It also puts the cel on cause the ecu is seeing no speed signal. The v1/3 the speed signal comes from the clocks. I might have a converter here somewhere i'll have a look you'll be very lucky to get a new one I'm 99% sure there discontinued.

Yeah getting rare now, just sold my spare one

It removes the 112 limiter but never actually removes it as such, just moves it, if you were to ever hit 180 mph the limiter would kick in lol
