Why are maps with big boostspikes so common
Personally, i have never liked overboost. But i do know a lot of factory built turbocharged cars have overboost, and almost every time i read something about boostpressure in here, its something like 32 psi peak and 28 psi hold.
Why not run 30 psi peak and 30 psi hold instead of the above example? I would rather have the car to pull equally hard the whole time when its on boost, rather than having a small or big boostspike when its coming on boost.
I think it feels wrong, its like the car looses some of its potentiel when a sudden boostdrop comes in after the peak pressure. I guess this also means that the lifespan of the transmission etc. will be shortened. And if the car is a sapphire 4x4 with more than stage 3 bhp it cant be sound with a big boostspike in the map.
I all of my turbocars, i have never liked overboost and i have usually used an aftermarket boostcontroller to control the pressure. In my current sapphire 4x4 i use a turbosmart e-boost street which i am very pleased about.
Does anyone of you share my opinion or is it just me that dont like overboost? Are there any particuler reason why so many people likes it?
Cheers,
