Asking a silly question about the rev alert on STI
I have turned my alert down from 7,000 RPM to 5,000 RPM and was wondering if this will make any difference to the power.
I know its a silly question as surely its just an alert and not a limiter but I just dont know for sure so wondered if anyone could offer an answer.

that what I think but after it turned it down I only booted the car a little but it seemed a little sluggish.
But that was at half three today and it was quite hot out then.
Just my imagination I guess.

it's just an alert telling you to change gear....mine is sluggish when it's warm..for instance if I have let it tick over for 10 mins picking up my daughter from school, it then feels like it's down on power....

It just seemed a but sluggish. No bouncing off the limiter.
I know it sounds a but daft but I thought that the ECU might somehow know that I turned the rev alert down suggesting I wanted to drive less hard and subsequently somehow delivered less power by maybe delaying the introduction of the turbo.
I know I must sound extremely thick
Sorry chaps.
It was a hot day and I was on the Malpas in traffic. So I think Alsieboy is right in that it was just a bit hot.
