I mean what happens if the clutch is worn out and starts to slip when clutch is depressed. It might get errors and nobody will know why boost does make strange things. Some error routines witch shuts off boost might be good.

I had the problem with slipping clutch only at peak torque at cold weather, i wasn't feel anything. I just found out by viewing my logs, with gear based i might had problems and had bought a bigger turbo than a better clutch 
Maybe boost cut off is to extreme, but whats about a new error code?
P9999 - rpm/kph ratio missmatch
this will show wrong rpm/kph setting.
I don't know how difficult a new error code is, or if someone everlooked deeper at the error code routines. It is just an idea from a guy who has to much free time now. It's winter, car is in the garage untill april. Parts are orderd but not here yet.

but how do you know the rpm/kph ratio is wrong? there are no other inputs to verify the system.
anyways I tested the new system a little this morning, and the gear still jumps a tiny bit - I will post up a graph later today - but I am still thinking of averaging out the ratio variable...

hrmm I am not sure whats going on here, even with my averaging forumla i am still getting stuff ups.
HOWEVER when I run the math by hand (ie manual rpm/speed from evoscan) it works fine... I am thinking of ditching that variable and just make our own rpm/speed...

for example:
if ratio table says: 40, 50, 60, 80, 120, 170
and you get another value, but if the ratio is still jumping, it won't be able to be very accurate. so it was just an idea, now we can ignore it
I haven't thought enough about it.
Alright I am pleased to announce the gear based boost control works fully 
Thanks John and Deepnine for your ideas
Back on the path to getting a TephraMod release out soon

Do you think you will incorrporate mrfreds lb/min logging and his wideband replacement for both the front and rear 02 sensors.....pretty please.
