It protects turbo from overspeeding at high IAT by limiting max boost request.
Can you explain why this is needed? I would expect the hotter air to be less dense causing less volume of air being moved by the same amount of compression ratio. We are shifting to the left of the compressor map, closer to surge line, and fearing that we surge we shift down as well.
But the main question was why Bosch engineers reduced at lower temps? I suppose the answer might be that more volume of air is moved (denser) causing to shift to the right on the compressor map, and we might hit choke point/max flow limit of turbo.
Any opinions on this? Is my logic flawed?
But you are going to be between 20℃ & 70℃ on IAT in most cases [/

I agree, but at the moment it is 0 Celsius and doing some pulls.
