Congrats on your JR kit , I hope you'll enjoy the Rotrex setup
One thing to note though, limiting the redline due to Map sensor cannot be considered as a "good job" IMHO since the Rotrex Supercharger kits (at least the base models with pump gas power levels) like @
CSG Mike mentioned your tuner should've told you to opt for an aftermarket Map sensor (if it didn't come with the kit)
you're most likely leaving some power on the table because of that and also lowering the RPM limit changes the whole character of our cars .. keep in mind we also have shorter gears compared to other cars that have similar weight/power ratio since those gears are not designed for extra power ..with the turbo where there are so many other variables changing lowering the RPM limit could be more understandable (like maxing out the injectors, boost creeps ..etc)
my suggestion would be connecting with other tuners since tune makes a big difference on driveability, throttle response (which already sux on these cars in stock form), power and most importantly the reliability.. lowering the RPM limit on the other hand is a band aid solution
