Oh, my... How much boost is available beyond the regulated max of 39
inches?  Good thing I have a digital MAP sensor + digital panel
meter -- guess I should add an aural/visual alarm to that now!  The
basic setup is just an auto parts store item, a trimpot, plus $10 LCD
DPM.  The alarm will require some less trivial circuitry.
