Default eboost2 help

I finally had a chance to take the car out and get some hits. However I wasn't able to get more than 11lbs on my 10lb springs. It's a twin setup with only one solenoid. I know it's not back pressure since the guy I got this kit from ran it with a manual boost controller on 15+lbs.

The sp was originally at 15 and made 10lbs. So following the guideline I bumped it to 20, still made 10lbs as expected. I then bumped it to 40 and it only made 11lbs.

What's the best way to setup the dual external wastegates with a single solenoid?
How can I tell if the solenoid is bad?

I've not ran a twin setup with a single solenoid, but I've had the best success with the two port method one setup on my eBoost2 single turbo setup.

How do you have it plumbed?

Here's a link to the manual if you don't have it handy.

Two port, single solenoid, twin turbo connection Method (1)

The problem was I was stupid and left overboost at 11.5 psi. It was on that setting from my last setup!

What is the duty cycle set too?

I can set the boost, just completely forgot about the over boost.

Cool. I am at 99% duty cycle on my westgate springs. I can hit 22psi then it will drop to 17psi and stay there. I have my over boost set at 25psi. I will swap springs one day but I'm at 800rwhp depending on temps outside. More then enough for a daily driver.

How is is plumbed should work fine. If you have the overboost set to 11.5psi, then you will never see more than that via the controller.

If you experience other boost related problems, then you may need to look at an alternative method of plumbing. But you havent said whether you have had problems ?
