Hello,
i convertet my subi with a Garett GT35 turbocharger, the powerband is about 5 - 7,500 R/min and my subi regulate the rev at 7.000 r/min, how can i get that fu***** rev limiter off?
Its a EA82T engine

You will have to ditch the factory ECU and get an aftermarket engine management system.

But there isnt much point as the engine's heads and cams arernt designed to make useable torque at those revs

where can i get that aftermarket engine management system?
or can i edit the original ecu?

7000 rpm in a turbo EA82? YIKE. What for? You are beyond max torque at 4 grand and max horsepower beyond 5 or 6 on old turbo. Is it calculations that tell you your powerband upper mark is 7500, as you say it cuts out at 7000. Did not know we had a rev limiter on old L turbos. Your oil pump may not cope at your expected revs either or the oil may start to froth up - and that is not good either. Mine sometimes touches 6500 for a very short moment and almost beyond torque peak when shift to next gear

I dont think you need to go beyond 7000rpm?
Cheers

It is winter over there in Deutchland, and almost as dark as long as those bored in winter Icelanders , and we've seen the crazee things they get up to when daylight and warm weather strikes !!

okay i think i could live with a powerband from 5-7.000rmp
but i need antilag Just a Joke :mrgreen:

ok, now lets make it ready for the "tüv", is there something comparable in australia?

is TUV your transport regulatory authority who appoints inpectors to look over your car before issuing you the licence plates or number plates as we call them in Australia, to ensure it is safe for yourself and other road users - for a fat fee of course.
In Australia we have a number of states and territories who look after the cars in their state. They set their own fees for inspection, plates, and registration. Some states include third party injury insurance in the fee, others need proof that you have got it before issuing registration. The rules for inspectors are all different as well - no national standard for all states !! Visually inpection result of low brake pads friction material is a fail in one state, pass in another, 10 kms away, so long as the brake test machine gives the OK IT STOPS QUICK response
