Overboost is a term used by engine companies (well, GE / CFMI for one) to describe exceeding the N1 or EPR value for the ambient flight condition. NOT the same as, and likely much lower, than redline overspeed limits.

The manufacturer may require some sort of inspection after an overboost, likely done on-wing.
