What is the purpose of a boost controller?

Boost controllers increase the boost generated by the turbocharger above what the wastegate would usually allow with its designed spring pressure/rate. Additional features are designed into the electrical units we produce. However, the primary functi

Can I install a Fuel Pressure Regulator myself?

While a fuel pressure regulator can be fitted relatively easily, Turbosmart recommends its FPRs are fitted and tuned by qualified technicians as an incorrect setting of fuel pressure may cause your engine to run lean with the potential for detonation

The dials on my FCD2 do not go all the way around.

The adjustment dials do not turn 360O, they start at 1 and finish at 10. Do not force them past these points as this will damage your FCD2.

What size external wastegate should I use on my vehicle?

This is a complex question that should, ideally, be answered by the people building the exhaust portion of the turbocharger kit and the person doing the tuning on the vehicle. Factors that need to be considered include engine displacement, fuel type

What’s the difference between a “Dual Port”, a “Supersonic”, and a “Plumb Back” valve?

Our “Dual Port” valves split the released compressed air, recirculating a portion of the air into the intake tract and removing the remaining air into the atmosphere. A “Supersonic” valve vents 100% of the compressed air charge into the atmosphere. A

Are spare parts available for your parts?

Yes, spare parts for many of our products are available under the product category “Spares and Accessories.” You’ll need to identify and select which products you need spare parts for (IE: Wastegate, Blow Off Valve) and then the available replacement

How do I adjust the base pressure on the FPR?

Turning the screw clockwise will increase your base pressure and anti-clockwise will decrease base pressure. Ensure that when setting the base pressure the vacuum hose is disconnected and blocked and that the reference nipple is open to the atmospher

I’ve accidentally zeroed all the dials, what are the factory settings on the FCD2?

Before setup, the unit should be set to the following settings, Clamp=10, Release=10.

The part number I need isn’t offered in the PSI rating I want. What should I do?

Many of the Turbosmart wastegates are offered in pre-set PSI ratings, such as 7 PSI or 14 PSI. In most cases, these wastegates can be customised to different spring pressures (either higher or lower) at little or no additional cost. We recommend call

How are the valves adjustable?

Most Turbosmart piston-type blow-off valves offer a small range of adjustment by rotating the unit cap in the “Harder” or “Softer” direction, with the exception of the Kompact EM and the Kompact Plumbback, which don’t require this feature. In the cas

What are the benefits of an electronic boost controller?

Electronic boost controllers have many benefits not found in manual controllers. Our electronic boost controllers have an Overboost Protection function which acts as a safety feature. This is to prevent, boost over your desired maximum. They also can

I have your wastegate installed, but the car is producing more boost than the spring I have installed?

There are many factors that could cause a vehicle to produce more boost than what the wastegate is set at. Common problems are a leak in the air supply line to the wastegate, an improperly sized wastegate for the application (usually too small), poor

Blow Off Valves - How do I know which valve spring to use?

All of our springs are rated based on the amount of engine vacuum required to open the valve with that particular spring installed. In order to select the right spring for your vehicle you should take into account the amount of engine vacuum generate

How are the eBoost 2 and the eBoost Street different?

The eBoost Street and E-Boost 2 perform many of the same base functions, but some differences are. The eBoost Street is capable of storing 2 boost settings which can easily be switched by using the gauge knob/button or by use of an external switch (n

How can I test my wastegate to make sure it is working properly?

Although you can perform a “bench test” of a wastegate to confirm that it is cycling properly and not seized, this bench test will not offer accurate results in regards to the amount of air required to open the wastegate. It is important to keep in m

Why/when/how would I adjust the valve?

Most valves come pre-adjusted to the correct setting for your vehicle. The two possible extremes that may require adjustment are a valve that is too stiff for your application or a valve that is too soft. If the valve is too stiff, your vehicle will

Do I need one solenoid for my electronic boost controller, or is two preferable?

This question is best directed to the person doing the install and configuration of the electronic boost controller. In many cases, the primary consideration in answering this question is which option will allow for a greater reduction in the length

Will fitting an external Wastegate require any custom fabrication?

Yes, fitting an external wastegate will require fabrication of a custom manifold and or modification to an exhaust manifold.

What signs indicate my valve is adjusted too soft?

If the valve is too soft, then your vehicle will generally suffer from a valve that is open when it shouldn’t be (such as at idle) or from an extended air charge release (possibly in excess 3 seconds). If either of these conditions occur then the val

What hose connection method should I use for my electronic controller?

This question is best directed to the person doing the system design and tuning on the vehicle. The intended boost range that you’d like to run on the vehicle and the spring pressure being used in the wastegate are key factors for this discussion.

Why is it important to check the Air-Fuel ratio while setting the desired boost pressure?

Any increase in boost pressure can cause the engine to run “LEAN”, resulting in possible engine damage.

What signs indicate that my valve is adjusted too hard?

If the valve is too stiff, then your vehicle will generally exhibit some level, large or small, of compressor surge (also known as turbo flutter). This sound may accompany a delayed (and short in duration) release of the air charge from the valve, or

Are spare parts available for the units?

Yes, we offer spare parts and accessories for our boost controllers. This includes mounting brackets, toggle switches, wire harnesses, and more. These are all available in the “Spares and Accessories” portion of our website.

How much boost can a valve hold?

Our valves are not rated by the amount of boost pressure that they can hold. A good rule of thumb is that if the hose supplying air into the top chamber of the valve is large enough to supply an adequate volume of air, then the valve itself should ma

Are there any ways to test my boost controller to make sure it is working properly?

What should I check if my valve is leaking under higher boost?

The most common cause of a valve leak under high boost driving is a leak in the hose supplying boost pressure to the valve. That boost pressure going into the valve is what keeps it closed, so if you have a leak on that supply side, or some sort of r

How do I pursue a warranty inspection?

If you are experiencing a problem with your Turbosmart product, our first recommendation is always to reach out to the support team at your local office. In many cases, a product issue can be resolved without having a warranty inspection performed. T

(The following answers also apply to Dual and Single Stage Boost Controllers)• Check that the boost controller is installed so that the arrow points toward the wastegate actuator.• Check the joining hoses for splits, cracks or loose connection and ar

My valve is not functioning the way that it should be. What should I do?

The first step would be to perform some basic inspections on the valve and try to establish what potential causes might exist (such as a leak or an incorrect spring). If the valve is a piston-type valve and has not been maintained (cleaned and lubed)

How do I wire up the Single/Dual Stage Boost Controller?

The updated Fitting Instructions include a wiring guide. You can download them from the “INSTRUCTIONS” section of this website.

I don’t see a valve available for my specific model. Do you offer any universal valves?

Yes, some of our valves are ONLY offered as universal parts (such as the RacePort), and many of the other valve types are offered in universal fit forms, in addition to our vehicle-specific versions.

After installing the eBoost2 my engine is over-boosting/underboosting.

• Check that the eBoost solenoid is installed correctly.• Ensure the factory boost control solenoid is not connected in the hose between the pressure source and the wastegate actuator• Ensure the length of the wastegate actuator rod has not been modi

How do I select the correct valve for my universal application?

Selecting the correct universal valve for your vehicle requires a baseline knowledge of your needs and intended air routing system. First, you need to identify the size of the valve that would be sufficient for the volume of air you will be discharge

I'm re-mounting my eBoost 2 and I don't want to lose the current setup. Will the settings be retained with the unit unplugged?

No, you won’t lose anything, but if you are worried, take 5-10 minutes and note down all your settings. it’ll be helpful if you do accidentally change something.

Are rebuild kit’s available for the valves?

Yes, we offer O-ring kits for the majority of our piston style valves. These O-ring kits are designed to make O-ring selection much simpler for valves that require maintenance to replace old and worn O-rings.

What is the proper connection method for the eBoost2 solenoid into an external wastegate?

There is no “proper” way, just start with the basic hook up method as per the instructions and if you don’t get the desired effect, try the other hookup methods as outlined in the fitting instructions.

Are spare parts available for the units?

Most of our valves have individual components available which are intended to be replaced on a regular basis. This includes commonly worn O-rings, diaphragms, V-band clamps and flanges. These are all available in the “Spares and Accessories” portion
