Probably not, A Squared. it was a reference to the fact that,
AFAIK, US engines generally left it up to the operator to avoid "overboosting" an engine on take-off or go-around. That applied, in my experience, from the P&W 1830 radial through to the JT3D turbofan. It may also have applied to the earlier versions of the CF6. I never operated any US turboprops, so cannot comment.
British engines, on the other hand, tended to have a protection against overboost. That certainly applied to the turboprop Dart, as well as the Conway and Spey by-pass jets. You simply firewalled the throttles. I think that may have also applied to large piston engines such as the Merlin and Bristol Hercules, but I stand to be corrected.
