setting up the new innovate motorsports scg-!
So this device has a setting where I can set it to cut boost at any afr I set as a safeguard. I have a stock turbo on a ser 4. When I tune it with my safc what should I aim for for a safe afr at cruise and at under boost, also whats you'alls opinions on what I should set the unsafe (cut boost now) afr at? I've done some searching but havent had the best luck getting a definitive awnser to my q's so far. Thanks for any input fellas!

i wouldn't even set a cruise AFR target, you will just wind up fighting the thing. for in boost a target of 11:1 is fairly safe.
all it does is add a boost control solenoid to provide more pressure to the wastegate to dump boost, which is still not 100% safe if you have an issue with the wastegate itself or the wastegate is already running solely off of spring pressure. if you're running a stock turbo with creep this won't do anything for you at all.
personally i'd rather see it interrupt ignition via a relay that powers the coils, but the output signal is a duty cycle wave form, so no good for that. i suppose it still could be attempted but a 12v relay is gonna get hammered by the pulsing frequency, still doesn't address ignition cut fully anyways with a timing retard.

I should have been more specific, it only stops adding more boost when it sees a set threshhold. It deffinately has limitations compared to safegaurds of a standalone, but still a cool feature (IMO). Thanks for the replies
