Done nothing to it, it is reading the clocks though I have compared lower speeds to GPS (not mine so don't have it in the car now) and my clocks are 2-3 out but never compared at the higher speeds so it will be out more its hard to get gear speeds in GPS as there is a slight delay in the speed reading.
It was bang on 7k when the clocks were showing 120

1st - 40
2nd - 60
3rd - 80
4th - 110
5th - 125+
I dunno how you managed 120 in 4th, at 110 mine was at 6500rpm, much more and it will hit the limiter. (limiter suppost to kick in at 6900 - according to a german friend) You must really spank it!

For what ever reason mines hits the rev limiter at 7k according to the clocks and every one of my speeds was just before the limiter comparing the speed to the clocks not GPS I was defo spanking the living daylights out the car when I did it but only ever done it once in 4th gear when I was attempting to keep up with a 106 GTI.
