Which is very different than caps and throttles!

Those still throttle after a soft cap.

We can compromise and call it the "throttle" :-)

There is also a _.throttle

Refer to it as the throttle, and avoid the confusion.

There's two ways you can throttle. As you describe, and being smarter about it.

That is, like rocket engines :) Those are not usually designed to be throttled below 50-ish% either.

There’s nothing trivial about a modern internal combustion engine. The throttle control system is doing quite a bit more work than just opening and closing a physical throttle valve.

Throttle is definitely computerized.

Well, the article claims it is patented. Maybe just shoddy reporting, though. Anyway I always thought the reason all throttles don't work this way was not because no-one had the idea, but for safety concerns.

Not on my side. We dont throttle anything.

Throttle seems key for something like this, too.

Not off. Throttled down.

throttles is still much better than not having it or being over charged.

Havn't read the article, but c-states and p-states are different to turbo disabled.

> Almost like a modern turbo drag racing setup!

I’m guessing neither of those applications care too much about turbo lag or throttle response.

Looks very well put together. I am not familiar with throttlers. What is throttling normally used for?

ThrottleStop is your friend.

bell-cot | karma 10840 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2022-11-01 10:51:49

Correct, and that throttle-fiddling is required to get a good performance boost from using side boosters.

innocenat | karma 1323 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2020-08-01 04:21:41

Auto throttle all the way!
