What is so cool about the overboost function is increased reliability. If two cars both run, say, 15psi, but one drops it down to 11psi after 5 seconds, that car's components should last longer while the other car starts overtaking.
From what the I gather from the other thread is that the over boost function would be on top what is currently out for 35i, 35is. What ever the boost is now, there will be 7 second spurts of more power. I guess you can look at it as more boost when you need it and avoid unnecessary wear and tear when you don't.

Also interesting that the German forum members got this to work over a year ago. Pretty cool.
The 35i and 35is remap to the same power figures.

Wedge is already pushing 20PSI out of stock turbos. Overboost can't magically increase boost when the turbos are at their limit.
