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.  
 
Will cutting the trailing coils lower the boost that much, or just limit the detonation (according to theory)?  I assume there will be a flashing warning light too.  Maybe he can flash "get a real wastegate" on the screen :-)

Hey, I'm always interested in forced induction issues.  Just never know what future rev might include this again :-)
