Default Soft cut limiter on ERST

After my sedate drive home last night I noticed ( a couple of times) how harshly the rev limiter is on teh RS Turbo. When I used to thrash the pants off the old XR it used to bounce nicely off the limiter.

I wondering whether it would be possible to put a soft cut limiter on and how much agro it would be. Oh and whether I'd gain any/much benefit from doing so?

Not too much agro TBH. You need to remove the factory limiter, then install an aftermarket limiter from someone like Omex. This will allow either a Hard or Soft cut.

How do you go about removing the limiter from the other ECU's?

Is this what I was hearing about changing the value of the capacitors value?
