I have taken it up to 191mph(GPS verified, factory speedometer doens't go that high) one time on the Autobahn of course

Whatever you do, make sure your tires and suspension are in top notch shape before attempting a top speed test run!

It's the one and only time I will probably ever go that fast. The car still had more power and gearing but I backed out of it. The car was still accelerating at that speed! My gearing will allow me to hit 210 at 8000rpm. I can rev the engine to 8500rpm and get a little more speed, but I didn't think it was necessary lol. Safe to assume that my speed limiter is no longer present

Standalone = no more speed limiter!

BG - You mention that no one has told you what is needed but have you checked your pm's? I already told you what's needed to defeat it before you made that post. That is the only way unless you go standalone.

You can't use the apex speed/rev meter as a speed limiter bypass. The Gs speed limiter is a function of multiple things, the bypass is 12 wires or so that need to be tied in/interrupted.

kinda hyproctical saying not to go over 130 when you've done it.

IF it worked I would be interested to see how as none of the others Greddy etc...work except for the HKS as it is tied into multiple inputs on the car, wheel speed etc etc....not simply interrupting a single signal going to the ecu as teh other speed cut bypass systems do.

I NEVER said don't go over 130mph. All I stated was that it's reckless and very dangerous. The only two times I did it were on a freeway straightaway at 3am with ZERO cars in sight and I don't plan on going that fast ever again
