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.

Question

Is it healthy for my impreza turbo to pop big flames and bang when i hit limiter?? It has been decatted!!

Over took a chap in a fiesta with the windows down.. Just as i passed him i hit limiter in 2nd and it popped right next to him. It deafened him and his misus!! He was not impressed!!

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!
