FW: DIY Traction Control?

[Stuart Woolford]

my toyota supa 3l turbo (ex-japan) speed limits hard at 180Km/h (US 
ones go a LOT faster.) I have enlarged turbo/exhaust/etc, so it is 
still making a LOT of power as 180 approaches.

The speed cut is perfectly smooth, you just slow accelleration as you 
reach 180, and go no faster. no shudder, no fuss, etc.
