Add some power and get rid of the rev limiter and it will do 160mph alright

Right then People just a small update:

My mate is back and he had a look and checked the timming and everything is timmed up right he said to take it to the VW boys round the corner and see what they said. They checked that again the timming come back fine but found out that the replacment coil pack I fitted last week looks wrong and they think it has a limiter in it, they also stuck it on vagcom and that come back with nothing apart from the knock sensor that they checked and gave it a clean and that was fine. So Ill have to wait till I can pick up a new coil pack from GSF next week and see what happens.

I would say the timing is out :huh:

+1 sounds like its a tooth or two out, does it hit the limiter at 5k when you clog it in 1st/2nd?
If timing is out it will register as hall effect sensor on diagnostic tool

My car does the same thing at 5000rpm, the car freaks out if I hit 5000, it is new to me so I thought it was just supposed to do that. I'd like to know how you get on with this as its something I think is important for me to sort out on mine.
Thanks
