A method of determining an adjusted boost signal includes determining a steady-state boost for a turbocharger (103, 105) for an internal combustion engine (101). The steady-state boost is adjusted (509, 513) for at least one of current transient speed conditions and current transient load conditions
A method of determining an adjusted boost signal includes determining a steady-state boost for a turbocharger (103, 105) for an internal combustion engine (101). The steady-state boost is adjusted (509, 513) for at least one of current transient speed conditions and current transient load conditions of the internal combustion engine, yielding an adjusted boost signal. The adjusted boost signal is sent (517) to the turbocharger.
