Yea, but when running a boost control setup like that, it's even more important for the ecu to have overboost protection.

If it doesnt then it's madness.

I can see little sense in a boost control setup, where the fail scenario results in huge boost, and no means of preventing it or shutting down to ensure engine safety.
