Eboost2 Quickstart
Eboost2 Quickstart
Please note that the e-boost2 cannot be used to obtain a boost pressure lower than the standard wastegate actuator
- - This guide is intended to get your unit installed and running with one boost group. For detailed instructions please
pressure setting. If your vehicle is fitted with a factory boost control solenoid it MUST BE REMOVED from the hose that
refer to the instruction manual runs between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator.
- - Turbosmart recommends that your e-Boost2 is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.
- - Consult your local tuning specialist before setting your boost pressure, setting boost beyond your engines Port 1 vents air from the
capability can result in severe engine damage or failure! Port 2 connects to the wastegate solenoid. Connect this hose

The e-boost2 must be connected to a 12 volt negative earth electrical system. All electrical connections must be
soldered. Please look at the wiring diagram for further information.

ObS is a safety feature that if triggered the e-Boost2 begins to reduce the boost pressure to half of that set in the MORE BOOST SETTINGS
ObS parameter. Once this safe pressure is achieved the e-Boost will return to normal operation. ObS must be BOOST
set to a level at least 2.2psi (0.15 bar or 15kPa) above the highest boost pressure. The ObS is factory set to 7

Gate pressure setting: The Gate pressure function allows you to determine the Boost On Demand: Allows you to select a boost set point for an inputted value of
pressure at which the waste gate begins to open. By optimising the gate pressure time before returning to the previous set point. When the BOD function is activated

- Earthing the green wire will trigger bG2 for the inputted value of time
Shift warning, LED Lights: The e-boost2 has 2 LED outputs that can be used as - Earthing the orange wire will trigger bG3 for the inputted value of time
shift lights or boost level warning lights. These LED outputs can be configured to - Maximum time that a boost group can be selected is 99 seconds

there are 5 parameters bOn (Boost pressure on), bOF (Boost pressure off), rOn normal in ISP mode.
(RPM on), rOF (RPM off) and rFL (RPM flashing). If rOn, rOF, bOn and bOF
values are entered on 1 LED, the LED will illuminate only when the RPM set
points have been reached. The boost values are redundant.
Bar Graph: The e-Boost2 bar graph can be configured to indicate a pressure
between zero and full scale (40 psi or 60 psi). The bar graph has ten segments,
seven blue segments and three red segments. When seven segments are
illuminated the pressure that has been programmed in this parameter has been
reached. The bar graph is factory set to 15 psi. The desired display pressure can
be adjusted to your preference and is typically set at your maximum boost level.
Audible alarm: The e-Boost2 has an audible alarm function that sounds the internal
buzzer once a certain boost pressure or RPM is achieved. The audible alarm is
factory set to 15 psi (1 bar or 100 kPa) but can be programmed for any boost
pressure or RPM. Within the AL parameter there are four options bOn, bOF, rOn
and rOF. If rOn, rOF, bOn and bOF values are entered, the alarm will sound when
either the boost or the RPM value is reached and will turn off when the boost or
RPM drops below the set point or both values reach there respective bOF and rOF
values.
Auxilary Output: The e-Boost2 has an auxiliary output function designed to control
an auxiliary device once a certain boost pressure or RPM value is reached i.e. water
spray, water injection, warning light or nitrous controller. This circuit can be used to
control a resistor type automotive relay with a maximum current draw of 2 amps.
Serial Number display: The serial number of your e-Boost2 unit can be displayed
on the screen. This can be useful for technical support. The number will scroll
through 6 numbers.
