overboosted
Excessive turbo pressure
Overboosted describes an engine or turbocharger running at higher boost pressure than intended or safe.
In automotive contexts, it may indicate a malfunction or deliberate tuning: The check engine light came on because the turbo was overboosted.
Gaming extends this to any excessive power enhancement: That weapon feels completely overboosted after the patch.
