Absolutely - I'm planning on getting Tracy's EC2 at some point, and anything that simplifies turbo control would be great!

Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo boost limits in the EC2

Fellow turbo people,
I just had a conversation with Tracy while ordering my EM2.
 
We discussed ways to detect and limit overboost. I suggested that the EC2 is watching MAP anyway, so it could spot a user programmable boost limit - e.g. 50 MAP being exceeded, and cut the training coils until the MAP drops below it. At first glance Tracy felt this was fairly easy to do. He has the MAP data and control of the coils there anyway, so it would just be a few lines of code [my words, not Tracy's] to implement. 
 
I agreed with Tracy to run it by the other blow hards to see if there was a consensus on whether this would be worth the effort on his end.
 
Opinions?
