Turbosmart e-boost....!

it seems people have asked questions about this EBC before, but there were no replies from anyone who actually has one.

Anybody using one yet? I think the price is quite good ($745 retail) for a "supposedly" top line EBC, when the blitz dual SBC-spec S (single solenoid) is around 800 bucks retail.

My main interest is running different boost in different gears. Can anyone tell me how EBC's with this function keep track of what gear your in?

cheers all.

When I was last at C&V Performance a few weeks ago, a Turbosmart representative was there, going through the eBoost's features with Con and Vic.

They had just installed one on a car, replacing a different EBC, and the turbosmart tech guy was teaching C&V how to work all the functions.

After about 45 mins, Con came out with the biggest smile on his face, singing the praises of the eBoost to no end. Even after the Turbosmart guy had left, he was still harping on about how it was the best EBC he had ever used.

Apparently you can tell the wastegate exactly when to open, so if you want to run 1.4 bar boost, you can tell the wastegate to keep COMPLETELY SHUT until 1.3 bar, and then open until it hits 1.4 bar. Most EBCs will allow the wastegate to creep open at about 0.7 bar and this isn't conducive to building boost quickly.

Anyway, give Con a call about it. You don't have to buy it from them, but they have now installed about a dozen of them, and they still can't stop singing it's praises, so give them a call and ask them any questions you want.
