Safe Boost

[Allan Tygert <tygera@rpi.edu>]

To the quattro list, et al,

Thanks very much for all the ideas on safelyt increasing the boost on my 86
5kcstq.  I got more info than I could possibly implement.  However, I feel
like I just ate a Chinese dinner; an hour after reading the posts an I'm
hungry for more knowledge.  

It seems to me that I'm going to have a trade off between safety and
performance.  Is this a correct interpretation?  I'm not looking for 5
besquillion HP out of my meager little 2.2.  I just want to improve
performance to safely see about 1.6 or 1.7 bar without that annoying
"yank-the-plug-out" sensation currently in effect.  Am I searching for the
Holy Grail?  

The fix Peter Wales outlined seems quite easy to implement.  But others say
that overboost protection is gone.  I'm not clear if this is sensor
saturation or A/D saturation or something all together different.  

If anyone knows the answer to these questions, please, for the good of the
free world, post them on the q-list or e-mail them to me direct.  I would
appreciate it greatly.  And from the quantity of posts generated from the
electronic bag o' snakes I sent out last week, it appears many others on the
list would also appreciate it.

In closing, I want to thank all the people who took the time to reply to my
request.  This truly is a great list and I'm glad to be back on it.  You all
have my sincerest gratitude.
