The way to remove it is to get a remap but you will still have the limiter just at higher rpm

As said it needs a chip for the ecu and it can be raised to 6500-7000rpm

You would have to get a remap or
Go for a stand alone management

There are company's that sell generic chips, just Google it as I've never got one so can't recommend anywhere
Why would you want to remove it anyway? You'd just fry the engine after going past its limit
Not to mention after about 7k the gearbox will spinout and not give anymore
Cars aren't designed to drive without a limiter
