I see. So if all you have is a switchable boost target map it essentialy does the samething you could be doing with the accelerator?

I am just trying to understand the real world benefits of say a 10psi and 20psi boost target map.

People say for traction in the wet etc, but could you just not press the accelerator any further once you reach 10psi on the 20psi map? The 10psi map would just mean you can hold 10psi at 100% throttle to the limiter instead of 20psi. But why would you be driving that hard to hold 10psi to the limiter in wet conditions?

Any help is appreciated. Trying to understand as much as I can.
Some people have no feel for it but also the way I see it is you don't drive as hard in the wet on a public road.
On a race track you would be better off reducing the power to suit the road so max accel can be used.
