The whole point of the rev limiter is to prevent damage to the engine by
revving it too high.  I wouldn't recommend bouncing of the rev limiter on a
regular basis, but there *shouldn't* be any harm in it.  I recommend
installing a TT exhaust to help you hear your VR6.  :)  Another option is to
get a Garrett chip, which will raise the rev limit a tad.

Even with the rev limiter, it is possible to over-rev your engine.  In the
case of a missed shift (accidentally hitting 2nd at 95mph or such), the rev
limiter can't stop the over-rev since it's caused by mechanical means.

Enjoy your VR6!
