[alfa] re: Rev limiter for Milano 3.0

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't be too worried about a rev limiter, per se, but what 
exactly has been replaced?  If it's the whole EFI computer, I don't 
think you want to run 3.0 on a 2.5 ECU.  If someone just replaced 
that resistor in the ECU, then don't worry about it, and just don't 
over-rev the engine.
