FG-EBOOST-40

1. BEFORE YOU START - IMPORTANT TIPS

-

 

This 

Mode

l e-Boost is capable of controlling boost pressures up to 2.72bar (40psi or 272kpa), for boost applications up to 4.08bar (60psi

or 408kpa) use FG-EBOOST-60.

-

 

Turbosmart recommends that your e-Boost is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.

-

 

Consult your local tuning specialist before setting your boost pressure

-

 

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
your nearest Authorised Turbosmart Dealer for more information on Fuel Cut Defenders

-

 

Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a Dynamometer and not on public roads
