so youre saying that everyone whith launchcontrol is a ricer and whants to get noticed ? first of all these limiters are safer for a engine you can install les revss and no fuell cutt duo to cutting the spark signal thats why unburnt fuel detonates in the elbow, but as i said it would be fine if you dont turn gain up to high which some people do because they like they bang bang indeed and yes high gain and overuse can damage but i said that my plans wherent use a high gain, so please stop bashing the limiter now and my choiche to buy one my car its my money Mkay?

My brain hurts due to lack of oxygen. Please say again in some sort of English.

End of the day, you don't need it. Post the specs of your car.

Cutting fuel is a safer fuel cut than cutting the ignition (which is why every car manufacturer does it). Cutting the fuel simply means the spark plug fires but it does nothing. Creates no heat or stress on anything. Cutting the ignition is bad for the turbo and exhaust due to the excess heat and pressure.

The only real use for this type of ignition cut is if you want to build boost while banging on the limiter in neutral, such as in a drag car.

As for whether it's genuine or not, does it really matter? From what I've read, the fakes still seem to work fine. As long as the price was reasonable then move on.

nicely said.

I thought cutting spark was safer as it prevented leaning out and melting pistons?

I have no experience with them but it makes sense. Could overspin the turbo if the fuel ignites in the turbo though.

If there's no fuel there'll be no ignition (as in no bang), so no risk or pinging or higher cylinder temps

Spot on. No fuel = no bang = no heat. And even if you had the tiniest amount of residual fuel vapor in there, it would actually be so lean that that it wouldn't actually cause much heat, if it was even enough to ignite in the first place. You get to a point where leaning out doesn't get hotter, and temps start to drop. Think about it, if you have a big fire it heats up a big area, but lighting a match in the same area won't do squat.

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
