Better the ECU skips a beat than what would happen if you kept at 28lbs boost
much longer. If you have a bulletproofbottom end a huge turbo and plenty of
fuel then you need to fix the problem. If you dont have all those then you
need to back off the boost and keep your engine together. I have heard of 3
sec of overboost in that territory in some aggressive chips, but 5 sec at
28lbs will put a strain on a stock bottom end.
Be careful and back down the WG spring,
