Default E-Boost2 issues

Anyone had issues with their Turbosmart E-Boost 2 dying on them? Mine works fine when I start the car but cuts off after a few minutes. If I turn the car off and restart it works again but after a few minutes the boost controller will shut off again. It goes completely blank, or displays a - sign. I checked the wiring first but everything looks good. It also randomly beeps before it shuts off sometimes.

I googled it and found a problem on turbosmart forums. They told him to contact customer support but nothing else is posted about it. So far the only response I got from them is to check the wiring.

I used this post in the sticky section by Mightymouse to set mine up along with the instructions that came with it.

Bump. Still nothing yet. If I can't get anywhere with Turbosmart I will just start running a MBC. No point in spending $500 on another one if there is a chance it will fail and I can't get it fixed or replaced.

Mate have you sorted your eboost2? Mine started playing up the exact same way as you described today, not happy!!

It could be the wire harness, mine would shut off randomly sometimes, and the pin was messed up in the black connector that goes directly into the back of the eboost2 controller.

Thanks I'll have a look at that, bu***hit to have to pay 600+ for a boost controller that only works for a month o so!!! Thanks again for the idea ill let you know if that works. It's weird cos it's been working fine since installed.
