[Mk2] [Turbo] KPH to MPH

Post by DaveMPB »

I have 110mph at the moment but have a chip to install behind the speedo to get rid of the limiter and change from KPH to MPH.

Does anyone know if the speedo will change to 160MPH or 180MPH??

oh its a rev1 turbo

Cheers
Turbo power baby!!

A chip won't change the rev 1 speedo at all, they only work on rev 2 to 5 cars. It may remove the limit but if you have power steering and the chip isn't a clamping type then the PAS will stay on at motorway speeds.

For a rev 1 you need either a UK speedo and a clamping delimiter, or a converter gearbox that goes into the speedo cable (also messes with PAS).
