Default overboost ??????

i've been reading the fastfords buying guide for a small turbo escos (octobers issue) and i don't understand what "overboost" is and how it would affect the performance

overboost allows the turbo to run a higher boost level for a set time safely.

the small turbos overboost setting as standard is longer than the big turbo.is it not around 17psi the overboost makes?and hold this for a preset time cant remember off the top of my head

overboost just gives you that extra kick for those short dashes out and in like when overtaking

think the o/boost only works in the higher gears and it only lasts a few seconds
