Overboosting Light
hey guys,
Aside from the blitz dual turbo timer, does anyone know of a simple device that'll let you know when you pass the set max boost? Reason being, I didn't end up getting the blitz turbo timer and i already have a boost gauge. I'm paranoid and wanted to be able to know if I overboost so I can let off the gas immediately. Saved me one in my civic.

Re: Overboosting Light
Did you ever see the episode of MacGyver where he attached wires to each hand of a clock, so that when they touched it ingited some explosives?
You could try the same thing with your boost gauge, wire a pin to your overboosting limit and the other to your needle
Seriously though, if you're good with electronics you could make a device that turns on (Makes a noise, lights up) when it sees a certain voltage, and hook it up to your map sensor.

Re: Overboosting Light
boost limiter wins everytime.
even with an ecu controlled boost limiter, ive seen at 15psi limiter hit about 22psi before it kicked in enough to get it down.
i seriously doubt your foot is faster than a boost cut.

Re: Overboosting Light
You could use a hobbs switch and use it to cut ignition at a adjustable boost level. I've got a few I bought from eGay for around $20 for the pair. they come in "ranges" 1-4psi, 5-15psi, and theres one above that too I think. they have got 3 terminals on them so you can have it turn somthing on, or off, depending oh which terminals you are using. I was thinking of doing somthing similar on my car.
