Ego board settings tuning guide
Set your trigger how you like it for feeling. Now extremely slowly pull your trigger and guesstimate at what point in the pull the gun activates (fires), either in the beginning, middle or end of the pull(putting your activation point in the middle of the pull is best for reducing bounce). Once you know that follow this and adjust your ttpul and ttrel accordingly

Activation
Point_______Pull___Release
Beginning____4_______2
Middle______3________3
End_________2_______4
(If you have a particularly short pull with little travel then reduce all these numbers above by 1 each)

1. Now once you have that set, put your tt band at 8% and tt tol at 78%. This should be a good start point. Now see if your gun bounces preferably with paint, but dry fire would be best, training mode does not accurately show bounce so don’t bother.
2. If you still have bounce proceed to raise your tol to 80 and your band to 6.
3. If bounce still persists then try to raise the tol to mid 80’s if it still bounces after that then raise your pull and release one each and you should be good.

Now if your bounce stopped at the first tt settings or the second you will want to try and drop your pull and release by one each, if it bounces then go to the next step in tt tol and band.

*NOTE* Settings aren't magic, they can't do anything beyond tune your gun and make it more or less bouncy. But as you have read not one set of settings will have the same effect on all egos, every ego is different, and for that matter every ego solenoid has a dwell at which it operates most efficently resulting in the best consistency. As for bounce settings it is next to impossible to share settings with somebody and hope that it will eliminate bounce, the best that you can do is to get some good baselines to work off of and tweak to your own trigger. So to recap, moose's settings aren't magical and won't necessarily work perfectly on your gun, the reason why moose's settings are infamous is mostly because the egos he sent out and tuned himself worked great because each had special attention, the same effect will not necessarily happen to your gun, so don't go setting hoping to find one set that works, make your own thats what the manual is there for.



From what ive found, set up the filters wrong and it will skip shots
, or conversely add a few due to bounce. Once set up as well as possible then mess with other stuff but firstly make sure you have the trigger set up to yur liking and not skipping shors which might make you think its slower. Also i find that if you have too much magnet (hard to pull) thatll slow things down, but then i probably just prefer lighter triggers....

(note i stole the above stuff off another site :p )

Basically you dont want your tol too low...cos then your gun will miss shots and make you look like a noob! :D

I think what lovetone has put is a good guide to get you started, egos are great if you like a firm(ish) trigger, cos the filters can be optimised to get rid of bounce completely and still allow high rof, however if like me you like a short, slack trigger they can be bounce machines, i've had to learn to use a firmer trigger because even with the filters set as best as they could be i was at a situation whereby i'd either loose shots or it would bounce occasionally.

Also, tweaking the dwell to around 9-10 and turningthe LPR down (try 2.5 to 3 turns from flush) should reduce kick which helps stop boucing too.

I had mine on 2 turns in and 9 dwel and lost hardly any efficiency at the 10 man, and I was shooting more paint then normal, I was probably getting about 10 pots per 1.1L tank.
Reduce the kick nicely too, just need to get my trigger sorted as it's still too heavy although I'm quite comfortable with it, but I can only get up to 14bps (which some would say is enough) :D.

Cheers Ian bud i was looking for that exact information i just changed the xsv trigger back to the stock Ego one and it was bouncing a bit - and i'd hate to think it was adding shots for me:D
