overboost protection

[Haifisch M3]

what are you guys running for overboost protection?
was thinking a pressure relieve valve on the intake would solve the problem

[pbonsalb]

Not many do that but a few have. A friend has several pop off valves. I have never used anything other than a wastegate and controller.

I'm using the ECU for that.

I'm using the ECU for that.

how does that work?
seems to me that a mechanical pressure relief valve would be safer

for any car running an EBC some form of independent boost limiter should be mandatory

had a hose pop off and 28 psi followed = broken ring land in #3

Stand-alone ecu.

Stand-alone ecu.

He is wise

Even the stock ECU has a Load limit, that with a bit of creativity can be used as "overboost-protection".
