"Overboost"

What's the rel deal with this? I know you get 10 seconds, but 10 seconds when? Under full throttle? 10 seconds every hour? every time you let off the gas? What's the scoop?

crd is an unknown quantity at this point
PCNA product guide indicates you get 10 seconds of overboost at WOT but only if Sport mode is on. After 10 seconds, throttle has to close fully (like between gears) to reset, then you can have another go at it.

so wut happens if your WOT for longer than 10 seconds, say at the autobahn. does the car bog down every 10 seconds and restarts accel. or what?
this might be a stupid question but im just curious.

I can tell you guys that the overboost works in 10 second increments as long as you have the gas pedal pressed. If you fully (not sure about partially) release the gas pedal, then the overboost gets primed for the next time you need it.
