However, with a boost controller and the solenoids eliminated, when it kicks into safety boost, it reverts to the low octane maps which are the same and your boost controller maintains your specified boost level. So nothing changes. That's not safe. If something is wrong, say it IS detecting knock because your girlfriend put 87 octane fuel in, it will retard timing and finally kick into safety boost. But because the low octane maps are the same as the high, and you have a boost controller, it will just keep on knocking. If the low octane maps were in fact richer and less advanced, the engine may stand a chance.

You're saying that the JWT Low/High Octane maps are the same, correct? When a proglem is detected, the JWT program reverts to its low octane maps, but because they are the same as the high octane maps there is no timing retard or more fuel? So, you're basically saying, JWT's low octane maps might as well not even be there since they're the same as the high octane maps?Now, when a problem is detected, your program reverts to its custom low octane maps (retarded timing, more fuel). Ok, here's where I'm confused. "If something is wrong, say it IS detecting knock because your girlfriend put 87 octane fuel in, it will retard timing and finally kick into safety boost" -If the low octane maps in the JWT are the same, how does it retard timing? Is there another method of timing retard other than switching the low octane maps? From this statement, if the JWT does retard timing, and not only drop boost pressure.. then, it seems that JWT is still making an effort to save a detonating engine, but.. your program is just a further extention of this safe measure. IE, a customized low octane map to retard timing and add fuel. The contradiction comes when you say that JWT reverts to the low octane map, but they're the same, "So nothing changes." Then in the next line you say, "it will retard timing and finally kick into safety boost." This would explain Kyle saying he's seen JWT drop timing during detonation with a Techtom.
Boost control isn't an issue because with both programs using a boost controller, neither will drop actual boost pressure, so the only reduction in power would be seen when the ECU switches to the low octane maps, retards timing, or whatever safe measures the ECU is taking.
