You misunderstood - I meant that the BMW software can compensate for unfavorable atmospheric conditions (such as altitude) by increasing boost up to 11 PSI. So the JB1 and SSTT are setting their boost targets to these values, safe in the knowledge that BMW would not hesitate to work the turbos more.

This amount is not specified in any public documentation as far as I know - it's something the tuners discovered when breaking the OEM program. :smile:
