eBoost2 users, step inside. Recently my eBoost2 controller stopped working. It is still getting power and ground because the blue lights behind the adjustment arrows still light up when the key its on, but the digital display doesn't show anything initially. After about a minute, the display shows -78 and doesn't move at all. The only wires I have hooked up are the hot and ground, and the 2 wires going to power the solenoid.
Has anyone ever experienced this?

Mine does the same and the tech support said they haven't heard of it, and it is mostlikely a wiring issue. They want I think 350 for a replacement unit. However I believe it's a hardware of coding issue. Because it would randomly go nuts when I was in boost. Either way it's been broke a couple months. I have a hard time with the idea of buying another one and having the same issue.

I might have to use a solenoid so I have a separate setting for racing. As I'm stuck with 10 psi atm. Most likely a 130 - 135 mph car when it should be much faster lol.
I know my problem is not wiring because i hooked it right to the battery and it did the same thing.....doesnt read vac or boost. I got my when there first came out (eboost2) I think back in 05
just says at -81
but after pushing like buttons for 20 mins it went to -230.....so i pushed some more buttons and back it went to -81

Been exchanging emails with TurboSmart and they suggested I try to re-calibrate it. I'm going to try that and if nothing else, I'll be buying another headunit.

I asked if it could be repaired and they said it isn't anymore cost effective to repair the fiber optics in the head unit as it would be to buy a replacement. The guy at TurboSmart guy asked me one last question and I responded....Waiting on his response.
