THANKS John @Visconti. Literally saved my motor last night. Car boosted to 13 psi at about 5K RPMs (it happens so fast, my eyes only saw up to 9 in the gauge) and hit overboost protection and it would just NOT go any higher.

Any of the Turbo guys, you NEED Overboost protection, I could have been another sad story today.
sounds like another turbo install gone wrong averted..

any ecutek tune can have this, I havent overtly checked with Perrin on what he has me running at the track, but overboost just isnt a concern in my setup with a SC
