Overshooting?

[a98pmalcolm]

Hay guys/girls.

 

Iv googled this and cant really find the answer. The term "overshooting" i.e: You can set your boost controller to overshoot.

 

What does it mean? Overshooting?

 

Thanks

Overshoot is generally when boost goes over the desired boost level, i.e spiking.

There cant be advantages to this can there?

It is also know as "scramble boost", as seen in Fast and Furious 4 for about half a second in the street race section It gives you an overboost of x psi for y seconds. The theory here is that your engine can take a few seconds of overboost before heat-soak induced detonation rears up. I consider it to be both dangerous and pointless.
