Another reflash feature for those running boost...

Added another feature. Boost cut. The purpose is to save your engine in the (fairly common) event that your wastegate or associated vaccum line fails. I've saved countless honda engines with this. If the boost goes above a pre-set level the engine cuts until the boost drops back down. Saves the engine from overboosting.

Unfortunately the factory MAP sensor (MDP I think they call it) is only able to sense 120kpaa so that's about 2psi of boost. So I had to replace the factory sensor with a piece I machined with a nipple and sorry guys a HONDA MAP sensor - that's all I had laying around at the time. I would prefer a plug and play solution to it but it's still in the beginning stages.

Anyone know of a compatible sensor that's a plug and play upgrade?

Probably an evo/eclipse map will work, if not then an aftermarket map would do the trick, just send a disclaimer with the available MAP sensors compatible with the flash and let the customer figureout the instalation.

The older talon ones look like they have the same plug but I think they're a 120kpa unit as well. So far I've checked the evo 8 and 9 and they also seem to be 120kpa. The trick would be to find one that has the range and the proper plug.
