Check out

Go to page 11 and read Pat and John Felstead's comments on why hitting the rev limiter in a turbo'd engine is a BAD THING.

Flames out the back.Sounds pretty cool to me.Just make sure you've got some little kiddy in his 1.4SR MuxPower motor close when you change gear next time.Should give him a shock!
