ecu safety controls and boost controller
Maybe the ans. to this is somewhere in the search, couldnt find it.
Is it true that when you install a electronic boost controll that you are bypassing all the saftey controls that are built into the ecu program?
To clear things up, For Example if the ecu sees knock for some reason the ecu should lower the boost to a saftey zone, but by baypassing the stock selenoid with the electronic boost control it wont be able to lower boost.
Can anybody can shed some light on this?

This is just my opinion and how I look at things so I hope it helps.

thanks, knock was only for example. i know if you have a tune and you get some **** gas one day that the ecu will protect the car by lowering boost or something is this true? i just want to make sure that adding the ebc it wont take away from any saftey built in to protect the engine
