The little stub under the gas pedal

I own a 2001 GTI MkIV 1.8t i want to know what is the little stopper under the gas pedal. I am not sure, but when i was looking through various sites they say that item is a "soft rev limiter." If someone can help me and tell me what it is and what if i take it off, can i get more power or is it just safe to keep it there??? Thanks!

You have a manual transmission. There is no kick down switch, super power booster blaster button, time warp activator or anything else. It is, simply, a pedal stop to keep you from digging your throttle into the carpet. Leave it alone.
