best aftermarket boost gauge

[Henry A Harper III]

One person is talking about an "overboost" extra boost, more power for a
limited time during an acceleration run (urS has this - ECU controls the
usual way via WGFV). Another person is talking about an "overboost" cutoff
where the ECU thinks it has lost control authority and takes measures to
prevent things from blowing up.
