Why only boost for 10 sec.?

Can't the engine handle more then 10 sec. of the extra boost that the Sport Chrono Package offers?
- if yes - then why not give it the extra power all the time?

As part of the 550/570 Evoms ECU flash package, the overboost function is activated all the time so, yes, the motor can handle it. As to why they don't come that way from the factory, no clue. Best,

Not an issue in a 6 speed car, wont hit 10 seconds in any given gear seeing as your off the boost when you shift. Now I have not tested it out in 4th or 5th timewise but figure you would be breaking many a law if you did!

I thought Porsche literature said torque converter heat buildup on the tip cars....?
Hard to believe that is the weak link though. Clutch? Intercoolers?
