<img src="http://www.rollaboyz.org.au/images/turbosmart/eboost.jpg" alt=" - " />

check out all this junk it does!


The e-Boost electronic boost management system is the culmination of many years of research, development and innovation, with countless hours spent testing on the dyno, the race track and the drag strip. The e-Boost is the worlds first re-programmable boost controller utilising FLASH memory technology, making it compatible with future software upgrades, meaning your e-Boost will never be out-dated. The e-Boost is more than just the best performing electronic boost controller, it is a complete boost management system, making Turbosmart a world leader in boost control systems. This revolutionary product is loaded with features, squeezed into a package small enough to fit in the palm of your hane.

The latest in Hi-tech electronics, featuring a 16 bit RISC based FLASH memory CPU - faster and smoother boost response.
Utilises the latest in surface mount technology - lighter, smaller and ultra compact.
Electronics are housed in an anodised billet aluminium allow housing - offering durability and reliability in harsh race conditions.
Programmable gate pressure function to totally eliminate wastegate creep - you tell the wastegate when to open.
Three internally or externally activated and individually programmable boost set points.
Drag racers - improve your launch, run a different boost each gear.
High accuracy boost and vacuum display, readout accurate within +/- 0.5% of full scale, boost gauge no longer required - great value.
Readout can be tailored to suit your needs - display can be configured in KPA, Bar or PSI.
Easy to read seven segment display with programmable bar graph and glow in the dark buttons.
Programmable auxiliary output - e.g. water spray control, water/methanol injection, boost light.
Programmable audible warning alarm - excellent for over-boost warning or full boost confirmation.
Peak hold/Max Boost recall function.
Revolutionary miniature gauge type construction allows many practical mounting solutions - 66mm in diameter 55mm long. Suitable for Panel mounting, or in any 2 5/8 inch gauge pod or pillar mounting system.
Available in two models MAX Boost 40 PSI / 2.72 Bar / 272 KPA, or MAX Boost 60 PSI / 4.08 Bar / 408 KPA.

i just picked one up for $425, will relay how it does when the turbo goes on!

Sounds like it does everything the Apex-i unit does and looks alot cheaper. And the Apex-i is about the same price. Although I have heard that the Apex-i unit can be a bit flakey with low boost. So why did you go with this over the Apex-i Dave?

I decided against the Apex-i as well because I just want simple adjustment. I'm going to try either the simple Blitz or HKS units once I get things together.

im not sure, look up my bid for it in ebay motors and email the guy, its a business, so they should be able to get more.

but like i said the 680 price i was comparing to was australian dollars which is pretty much the same as what i paid us, so any company you find selling this doing a search on google.com would probably end up charging about that much in american.
