Has anyone ever done the limp mode mod for the Mk4?

its supposed to keep your car out of limp mode, and choose the settings to a flip of a switch.

Should I even consider running this or no?

Limp mode is pissing me off too much all of the sudden

i would be carefull its not a bad idea but, if you blow a IC hose off or fry a map it wont go limp and could be bad news. i wouldn't unless you have a BT and are trying to get somemore power out of it.

b4 you do the diode mod, I would highly suggest checking out http://www.boostvalve.com/

I am hitting limp b/c of overboosting. Their boostvalve seems like the best alternative.
