how do i kill my rev limiter on my 88 rocco 16v???

[bhonnold@pac-cap.com (BoxOParts)]

16v's have both fuel and ignition cutoff for the rev limiter, however
the ignition cut off is much higher.  Fuel cutoff is controlled by the
knock box which cuts the fuel pump relay ground when the limit rpms is
reached.  The way to defeat this cutoff is to locate the wire from the
knock brain that grounds the fuel relay and ground it somewhere else.

I am pretty sure 16v's have a fuel cut to.
