you just need to send the CDI unit out, not the whole ebox. Lots of places do it, and there is a do it yourself thread here on the board. RIVA and Protec are two places that do it that I can think off the top of my head. Even check out ebay for units that have already had it done.

PM LBE... I think he does it for people also for less than protec will charge you.
Take a look here:

Posts 4 and 9 show how it is done. Just do the short wire on the board to completely eliminate the limiter and there is no need to cut open down the side of the box (that is only if you are adding a variable resistor to change the limit, and then you may have to try it a few times to get it set right).
We (myself, Powder, PancakePete, and Jim) did it as a last-minute quick substitute for Jim Pellicano's RedBull ski blown Factory Fire CDI on Saturday. Overall it took about a half hour, and would have been a lot less time if only one of us worked on it. :silly:
John also used a hot glue gun to refill the opening as you know that in time there will be water intrusion in the ebox.
If you're unsure of yourself doing it, pick up a used CDI off ebay for your ski and try on that.

I can do the mod if you like. I have done probably 20 without any problems. I eliminate the rev-limiter completely, I think that is what most do. I run that on both my skis.

I have been giving serious thought to getting my rev limiter back. When I launched off a wav, I was not always 100% on top of the throttle, and it would race.
But then, I had to be real careful, as I had removed the throttle screw from the carb, and had to not let off to much throttle or it would stall, and not pull it to much, or it would rev off the top. Tricky when trying to learn barrel rolls.
But then, when I get my start/stop switch fixed, it may not be as much of an issue, as I can set the ski to idle, and wont have to worry about a stall if I let off the throttle.
but it was sooooooooooo nice to be able to just jump on the ski, hit the start and gas, and take off.
