Setting boost beyond your engines capability can result in severe engine damage or failure! Turbosmart recommends that the engines Air/Fuel ratio is checked once the desired boost pressure is set, any increase in boost pressure can cause the engine to run LEAN To safeguard against pinging or detonation, always use the highest octane fuel available A Turbosmart Fuel Cut Defender may need to be used in conjunction with your e-Boost, Please check out the www.turbosmart.com.au or...

Installing the e-Boost solenoid Mount the e-Boost solenoid in an appropriate position in the engine bay with the screws supplied. The e-Boost solenoid is rated to 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), ensure that it is mounted a minimum of 250mm away from the turbo or exhaust manifold, otherwise heat-shielding maybe required.

Extreme care should be taken when setting this parameter, Turbosmart recommends that you seek advise from an appropriately qualified technician with regard to the OBS setting.

Bar Graph The e-Boost bar graph can be configured to indicate a pressure between zero and full scale, depending on your Model this will be either 2.7 bar / 40 psi or 4.1 bar / 60 psi. The bar graph has ten segments, seven green segments and three red segments. When seven segments are illuminated you have reached the pressure that has been programmed in this parameter.
PART NUMBER FG-EBOOST-40 FG-EBOOST-40 e-Boost-40 Instructions e-Boost-40 Instructions Step 1: To access the boost parameter menu press and hold the Mode button and the down arrow simultaneously. The readout will begin to flash between the parameter and its value, select SP1 by pressing the up or down arrows.

The Gate pressure function allows you to determine the pressure at which the wastegate begins to open. By optimising the gate pressure and keeping the wastegate closed as long as possible, your desired boost will be achieved faster and at lower RPM.
PART NUMBER FG-EBOOST-40 FG-EBOOST-40 e-Boost-40 Instructions e-Boost-40 Instructions 5c. Audible Alarm The e-Boost has an audible alarm function that sounds the internal buzzer once a certain boost pressure is achieved. This alarm can be used to confirm that full boost has been reached or as an over boost warning and can be programmed for any boost pressure. The audible alarm has been factory set to 1 bar (14.7 psi or 100 kpa).
