Petrol - has a rev limiter already
Diesel - done as part of a remap for effect only.

Do you mean cruise control by any chance? Quite a few people have it fitted for convenience, some people claim it's better for economy, others claim it's better judging it yourself and changin revs/gears manually.

Ah I get you, I know it can be mapped in to some ECUs but I don't know any more than that. Best bet is to ask Bill in the Badger 5 section or search for builds where people have the feature(s) you're after.

I've got it written in to my remap. It's not something I use all the time pulling away normal is fine but it's good if your taking the car to a 1/4 day.

I'd imaging it would put a lot of extra stress on the clutch using it a lot.

oh right thats a bit disapointing if it doesnt build boost. havent seen many leons with it fitted. was going to look at a stand alone limiter but i cant find any cheap. all the cheaper ones are single coil only :(

im not sure if its possible to build boost, id expect so but on our turbos its just going to cause trouble, it still does well for what it is

no idea to be honest i rarely use it as its more of a drag toy, not something you really wanna use at traffic lights etc haha

then id find a new mapper, dont get me wrong i was told it shouldnt be used constantly but it should be fairly easy for an experienced mapper to enable.
