OVER BOOST SHUTDOWN  

 

In order to successfully program your E-Boost Street you MUST carefully follow this section. 

Turbosmart recommends that this function is used in conjunction with another form of Over-boost protection such as 

fuel/ignition cut or over-boost valve. The OBS will not stop an over-boost scenario if there is a mechanical failure on the car 

that inhibits the E-Boost Street from controlling the wastegate or if electromagnetic interference due to incorrect wiring 

causes electrical interference to the E-Boost Street. 

 

If  the  OBS  is  triggered  the  E-Boost  Street  will  reduce  the  boost  pressure  to  half  of  that  set  in  the  OBS  parameter.  Once  this  safe 
pressure is achieved the E-Boost Street will return to normal operation.  OBS must be set to the maximum safe level your engine can 
handle and your set points must be below the OBS setting. When the OBS is triggered OBS will flash on the display to indicate that your 
boost pressure has reached the over boost shut down value. OBS will flash on the screen when triggered in live mode and when a set 
point is being edited. Please note, OBS will not work in setup mode. 
 
The OBS is factory set to 7 PSI (0.48 Bar or 48 KPa), so you must enter a figure in order for the E-Boost Street to produce more than 
the standard boost pressure. The purpose of this feature is to protect your engine against accidentally entering a boost set point value 
that is too high, preventing a dangerously high boost pressure. Extreme care should be taken when setting this parameter. Turbosmart 
recommends that you seek advice from an appropriately qualified technician with regard to the OBS setting.  

 

SCALE 

 

 

 
 
The E-Boost Street readout can be configured in either Bar, PSI or KPa, the default setting is in psi. This allows you to tailor the readout 
to suit your own preference. Note that when the PSI scale is selected and the E-Boost Street is under vacuum conditions the display will 
read in inches of Mercury (inHg), not negative PSI.

The E-Boost Street has the ability to control two levels of boost (BG1/BG2). The parameters that can be adjusted in each boost group 
are set point (SP1/SP2), gate pressure (GP1/GP2) and sensitivity (SN1/SN2). Set up the boost groups in the following order:
