Default 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...

sir, I believe that the first response was from the guru you seek.
