Question Low top end???

I have had my Jap Import now for about 4 weeks and I have noticed that although the excelleration is very rapid, I don't think the car would get anywhere near the 145+ that it should do. I have read that Jap cars are sometimes limited to about 110mph and they need to be de limited to make the the same high end as uk cars. How do I do this and how much should it cost????

You would feel the limiter cutting in though if you hit it, accelaration stops very suddenly.

112mph limiter. Word of caution - due to this limiter Subaru didn't see fit to make an intercooler that worked above that speed. If you go for a sustained WOT high rev 130+ run, i'd give your engine 5 min tops
