Default Eboost 2 a no go with CO2?

I guess I got a little click happy and bought a motion raceworks CO2 kit and a eboost2 before I did all my homework on the eboost. I was thinking I could supply a 4 port solenoid with the co2 as a pressure source instead of off the turbo but turbo smart guy says no. Just wanted to make sure this was the truth before I plumb up with turbo pressure. My first turbo build sorry if it’s a dumb *** question.

I haven't looked into that, but I probably would have done what you did. I've never used a eboost 2 before either.

I run the Eboost2. Somewhere I have the 28 page mess of a manual on how to set it up. Do you have that?
I don't recall if it will accommodate C02.
I haven't had any issues getting the boost I want with the std settings. I have 14lb springs in my gates, wasn't really interested in trying to run less boost than that.
I did manage to set up boost by gear with micro switches on my shifter.
The push this, hold this, horrible cryptic setup pissed me off no end. But I got it to work. I still hate it.
If I knew what I know now, I'd have just gone Boost Leash.

Sad they didn't add a way to control this with a laptop...….

In theory you could use co2, but as it isnt specifically designed with it in mind, it will go through a hell of a lot of it.

Think I’m going to hook up the 4 port solenoid off the turbo they way the book says to. Really interested to see how the boost by rpm works. Thanks for the info

I run an EB2 with compressed air, 3 port solenoid. It works great but does use a lot of air as stevie mentioned.
