I know where you are coming from but unless you have done the supporting mods and strengthened your engine significantly, it is not a good idea to remove the rev limiter. It is there to protect your engine.

Continuing on with my plans and attempts to aquire the right parts, does anyone know where I could find a turbo manifold for the Optra 2.0L ? Ofcourse 360 was offering, but yah..... :( Or do you think I will have to get one custom made from scratch? How much might that cost?


thanks.

Turbo Optra Plans

I just removed mine on the weekend, I have a 2004 Optra. Its not that hard, just kinda annoying because some of the bolts are hard to get to. Watch out for nasty water pouring out when u tip it or move it lol.

I was very surprised how loud it was, much louder than I expected. At least it's a unique sound, doesn't sound like any other car I've heard.
