If what you said is true, then the turbo function of the RS is similar indeed to that of the brushed speedos of the past (as I have mentioned above)
One question remains then. Is the turbo going to override the current limiter settings?
Are you talking about the "turbo start" on the qc2 and 3 where you hold full brake for 3 seconds before the start tone and then the instant any throttle is applied the fets go straight to full on?
Turbo does not override the current limiter; it just changes the timing in the motor. e.g. if you have the current limiter set (lets say it cuts you off at 20 amperes) and when turbo kicks in the timing advances and more current will be pulled. Say you were pulling 10 amps and then the advance timing is trying to pull 23 the instant it kicks in: the limiter will still apply and the second gear "kick" will be softer, but you will still have the same top end.
