Your gauge was way off. I have yet to see proof of anyone in a stock N/A breaking 125MPH... that's about the top I could ever get mine too and seems to be the norm for an upgraded N/A with a factory block.

well i just had a HG replaced 3 months ago about, i got exhaust headers, K&N air filter, replaced my ECU main relay, and lots more electrical, and removed my A/C belt im sure im slightly above stock...
and i wouldnt say my gauges were fine if i hadnt tested them..
also i live in a farming comunity with nothing but highway for miles...
but just to reassure myself ill bring a friend and a couple gps's with me on my next test

and 125??
my 2.8 liter 85 went to 140mph easy...

I suppose you missed out on the fact that the N/A MKIII's physical limit, due to gearing, is 142MPH.

But whatever, I'm not going to get into another one of "those" threads... it's been proven time and time again and I've got better things to do.

an 85 2.8L is not a MKIII... apples and oranges here maybe...

NOW MY CAR IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER I TESTED HER AGAIN.

126mph @ 4750rph on the motorway. with more to give.

I slowed down becuz it was dark and bad conditions, wait for it..............

An unmarked Garda car pulled me.
