:sqeyes: :idea:
was at ????? shop over the weekend....a VW bug (new one...turbo) was in there for a "check engine light".
He hooked up the scan...read the snap shot of the engine parameters....it read: 158mph...10,500rpm!!!!!!!!
A 18 year old chick owned it!
I said, "No f%$#@ way that bug could go that fast". But he said, "so why does the scan tool say so?"
Scary....must have taken a long time to climb from 120mph to 158.

WTF.... this is a joke right???? How funny would that be for a VW bug to come flying by at 158 mph.. Must be some kind of false DTC's

If She Put It Into Firt Gear I Can Understand The Rpm's Going That High, But Not The Mph.

"This combination propels the Turbo S to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds and to a top speed (computer-controlled) of 130 mph."

I watched a tv show that had VW bugs racing, the fasted I saw was 130 I think. It might be possible.

If the engine is chipped it removes the top speed limiter. She could have had a bigger turbo, exhaust etc on the car. Than it might be able to do that but I'd still say that a negative.

A wrenching buddy of mine is the one that witnessed it and he even said BS. It was in a shop in the 909 area. Maybe that is why the MIL light was on cause it has a few sensing problems. :messedup: I guess anything is possible but taking a few things into consideration.
1. That motor can't handle 10,500 rpm :sqeyes:
2. If the motor is turning @10,500 rpm then the turbo is spinning around 300,000 rpm. :2purples:
3. What about the pop off valve :frown:
4. Computer limited
I say no way, in stock form :smile:

I know its the internet and if I'm offended yer joking, But Totenhosen your sig is a bit over the top, using dead people is a line that not easily crossed. :jawdrop: :idea:
But not to stay off topic, that bug had better have had some suspension/body mods to hit 158 or it would have blown off the road.

IMAGINE THAT A PCM OR ECM INCORRECT. WOW, NEVER SEE THAT IN THIS BUIS :hammerhea

[supernick]

you can take out the rev limiter and the governer on about anything as long as you can figure out a way to run the motor w/out them and no wonder why the check engine light was on she was running at over 10,000 rpms!
