Good luck, I hope you are successful.
Thanks mate - success is the only direction.

this is a design to stop your turbo from going bang hope it all works for you
can u pm me the cost of the turbo upgrades and where as i would like to think about it as well

IF the factory electronic boost controller fails your turbo is not going to spool to 36PSI! There is a mechanical fail safe built into the actuator so no issues with deleting the over boost setting. I would not risk blowing up my motor if this wasn't the case.
The vehicle is setup for long distance touring I've crossed the Northern Simpson twice already and every modification has an underlying theme - reliability.

So the question I guess remains as to whether yours has been modified to add some alternative safety measure.

They can, and do runaway (I have seen the evidence of this). Overboost is not the only issue, as the turbo can also be subjected to overspeed, which causes mechanical damage (this can be a cumulative effect). The overboost setting in the ECU is actually the ultimate failsafe. The actuator can fail in the "max boost" position, which leads to uncontrolled boost and spindle speed. In this case, the ECU would shut down/limp the engine, unless this parameter has been removed......

We tested it with the factory boost controller bypassed and it topped out at 18 psi. Mine is the last generation MY14 not sure if this has something to do with it.

Is it because of my exhaust or another issue as my mechanic said it may have just been a once of. 2nd time happened today, would this be 'overboost'?

Under what conditions did it go into limp mode?
The overboost limp happens when at high rpm and under load conditions usually over 8- 10sec such as a long uphill or when trying to overtake.
It's the compromise of having a 3"zoorst.
