I was just watching Best Motoring and they mentioned this on the MCR R34 GT-R

"The scramble boost feature on the SBC-iD is a unique one, shared with Blitz's DSBC spec R. Rather than having a button or switch to toggle a different boost level for some set amount of time, the system activates every time you go from vacuum to boost. The unit scrambles to a different channel where the boost can either be raised or lowered. Once scramble times out, you need to drop into vacuum again to reactivate the scramble mode. Blitz claims this system was designed for a circuit-racing environment. We don't get it. Luckily it can be disabled."

i dont use it, and dont know many people who do.

but lets say my stock evo boosts 19.5 psi, and i set the normal pressure to lets say 15 psi, then set the scramble to 19.5psi, you can do some sandbagging tricks or just not boost as much to save gas, save wear and tear etc.

I wired a switch to my A'PEXi AVC-R to go overboost. Pretty neat but it shouldn't be too big of a deal since the general rule is not to be in boost for more than 15-20 seconds unless you have some intensive cooling solutions and a block that can handle the stress (top-end runs)

However, I think it would be nice to have one of those nirtous IC foggers to cool the intake charge.
