    I have a PLX Kiwi 2 Wifi which I use while autocrossing.
    I have noticed that the throttle only goes to 91%. is there a way to adjust or is it possible 91% is fully open?

    That would be a good question for your tuner.

    Since you already have a RMW tune just call Jan and ask him.

    For a good laugh ask him about your "Torque limiter". :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Hey if you got info on this debatable control, let us know. I know I have not seen anything definitive ever posted about it.

    Is it possible that the logging/monitoring device is simply misinterpreting the throttle position? Have you tried it in a other MINI to verify it will read 100%?
