I doubt it as a superchip is simply a standard chip with no boost limit.

Then your "15 psi boost cut" wasn't a boost cut at all, more likely the spark blowing out or something.

it did it on the jamsport rollers during set up too, i wud have thought they might have flagged up such an issue

but either way, its no longer my issue as its long since sold and has been replaced with a turbosystems ecu, so all is well in the world

but for reference, a mate has a chip in his ecu, with DT sticker on it, the previous incarnation of superchips, and this too has a 1bar boost cut or there abouts
