To be honest I would think cutting anything but fuel would make no sense.
Cutting fuel till the MAP comes down is the only workable solution I can
see.
Now what Tracy,or someone else could do is create an electronic waste gate
controller that could be driven by the EC2.
Then add a knock sensor for detonation protection and you got everything.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo boost limits in the EC2
MessageFellow 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?
John Slade (for once, the term blowhards doesn't include Rusty)
