making a boost leak tester, hints?

[bobpogoman]

there must be a link somewhere on how to make it but cant find it.

how should i do it? should i unplug the coupler from the TB,make an pvc hose to plug a compressor on it and cap the turbo entry side then put some air in?

thanks.

Just buy a spray can of starting fluid and spray it where there could be a possible boost leak. Your idle will pick up where you have a leak.

made the tester, without measuring the car, the shop didnt had any 3 to 2 inch adapter so i just took a 3in. straight coupler and capped it, but noticed its not tight on the turbo, the ct-26 got like 2-3/4in. o.d. of the bavel? cant find any 23/4 adapter :S

not a very effective solution compared to loading them with some boost.

Keep cranking down on the clamp and it will grab eventually. I've always made mine 3" cause its all they really carry
