Hi chaps, just done a 300 mile trip, the car runs great, fuel economy is very good, no rise in temp etc, only trouble is the car seems to be able to only manage 93 MPH, it's as though the limiter is on, lots of pedel under my right foot still but the car will not go any faster, im just wondering if the car is restricted! Any thoughts? one other thing i do seem to have a little bit of a flat spot around 2k revs :confused:

I would be taking a guess at a boost problem there Dave, a short test would show you more!!

No need to worry,another 7 mph past a speed check and it won't matter.
Of course,you will have found this out on an autobahn:)
