RE: UR-Q Top Speed...

["David Thoresen" <epicfoto@lava.net>]

Strange thing is it will get redline in first and second gear...  BTW whats
a WOT switch?  How much is it for that and/or a new inlet air temp
sensor?...

Thanks!
David

It's in limp-home mode.  Possibly the inlet air temperature sensor -
that's the most frequent cause of the 4000rpm limit.

Why 'chip' a WR engine?  What good does it do - the MAC01 only controls
ignition timing, not boost.
