Ill just note as well that having a target higher than what the hardware can reach is not an issue, presuming the hardware can handle being run full throttle for extended periods of time (exactly as the kit in the other thread does now). It can try all it wants, it'll just constantly be trying to increase 'throttle' only to find out that it has reached a hard limit for the value. This will repeat again and again until at some point the map becomes >= the target, when it'll begin to throttle down and eventually settle very near the target. Of course this all takes place at the highest frequency possible.

We are effectively building an EBC that changes motor rpm instead of the position of a bleed valve.
