Default Brake light flashing at 100mph?
Since I've gone stage 3 (ASP), the BRAKE light on the dash starts flashing right when I hit 100mph. The light goes out after about 5 minutes or when I shut the car off. Nothing out of the ordinary on the VAG-COM and the light operates as it should with the e-brake engaged. Any ideas?

Any way to turn it off? A little startling at full throttle runs. Fluids are fine.

There's the yellow speed warning, but I've never heard of the brake light coming on. Any more info?

BRAKE light comes on randomly, seems like it might be under acceleration.
