This is interesting, How does it "know" what gear I am in? I would assume
that I am flowing a lot more air at 3k rpm and 1.3 bar in 1st or 2nd than I
am at 2k rpm in 4th or 5th. Yet, the over boost cutoff always kicks in right
at 1.3 bar on the gauge. Can hold 1.2 in any gear, just can't exceed it.
