   Is this a better option than the ECU limiter?
   
   Obviously you can't up the limit, but would I be better using this over the ECU one?
   
   pros / cons?
   
   Is this a hard cut and ECU is soft?

   iirc the omex limiters are set soft from the factory - they start to limit 200rpm shy of the specified limit. This can be changed to a hard cut for added flames/pops/bangs/chavness.
   
   "better" depends on why you want it.

   Standard limiter cuts the fuel to limit the revs.
   Omex cuts the spark so fuel keeps going in which is what causes the bangs!
