Overboost protection not...protecting
I have overboost set at 149 kpa but looking at my log I'm getting MAP readings above that. Pulse width is not going to 0. What the hell am I doing wrong.

well fuel cut alone isn't doing ****. it sails right by my boost cut threshold without a hiccup. I'll try spark and fuel. Maybe this is an issue with the 94-95 MSPnP if me, Cueball, Savington and Paul all have this.

sam, everything is in kpa, and as you can see in my first post overboost proection is also in kpa. I tried it with spark and fuel cut and I was still able to pass the overboost cut off with nothing cutting out.

My point wasn't that it's easier to understand one way or the other. I meant that I don't see how having it set to psi or kpa would effect whether or not the overboost protection works (unless of course it was set to psi and you set it to 204 thinking it was kpa. Unless you're capable of hitting 189psi of boost that is.). Mines set at 149kpa which is just about 7psi but I've been able to hit almost 9psi.

For Over boost protection, I'm set to fuel + spark, and "Cut 'n' sparks out of BASE NUMBER" is set to 50. But I don't even know what that means.
EDIT: Oh, my base number is 5, so is yours. So yours is set to only cut 3 out of 5 sparks. Maybe that is your problem? I'd still think you'd notice it kicking in.
