Question on Eboost 2 I am currently using a Turbosmart manual boost control. My problem is that I peak about 3700rpm at 13psi and the boost falls to 9psi by 5800rpm. The Eboost 2 features, " A specifically developed Correction Feature that eliminates boost drop-off at high RPM." Will this fix my problem? I am losing about 250lbs of tq through my rpm range. What I don't understand is that my hp doesn't really fall off that much. Maybe 50hp?
How much more accurate are these over a conventional manual boost control and analog boost gauge? I currently have an Autometer Cobalt Boost Gauge.
And if your up to it, could someone explain what these other features do?
-Up to 6 alternate boost mapping functions with specific boost mapping.
-Boost levels can now be mapped against TIME or RPM - on a laptop?
-Special gate pressure function eliminates wastegate creep.

IF your losing boost its due to something else and the e-boost will not help. First what turbo setup are you using?? The most common problem is, the turbo is to small or improper A/R ratio. The next problem is you have to much back pressure,due to a restrictive manifold or log...etc and its forcing the wastegate open which is bleeding down your boost. The only other thing is, if your using a rear mount kit, turbo efficiency will drop as the rpms rise. Reason why you see the rear mount kits take a dive after peak #'s. I'm not sure what kit you are running, but these are some suggestions. Good luck
the efficiency only drops if your running the tiny little 60-1 on the rear mount. A 67 will not drop.
FWIW, my car would boost to 11 then drop to 9 until I put an electronic controller in it.

Hey, I'm looking for somebody that's an Eboost2 guru, too. Are there any functions that can help prevent further damage to the engine/turbo if there's a mechanical failure during WOT?
Please, anyone that's using one and knows it inside out... I'd like to know what kind of difference it's made to your setup and performance.
Thanks...
