Boost leak test Help
 

Ok I still have boost leak ... I posted a thread a while ago but still have not sorted it as it seems impossible to find. So my question is and this is compleatly new to me but I can hear the leak once I hit about 1. / 1.1 bar Soooo do I just remove the air intake pipe put a bung with valve into the turbo intake at the maf end and pressurise the system up to 20 psi IS THIS SAFE & is this posible I really have no Idea :(

Many thanks in advance for any help. :notworthy

Use it at work amazing stuff!

How dose it work bud ??

It's A clear liquid which you pour on all pipes and joints!
When you rev the engine you create enough + pressure! If there's a leak it will blow bubbles like at a foam party!
We Use it on aircraft, very good stuff!

Thanks buddy will bare this in mind :thumb: But am really tring to find out the best way off pressurising the system safely. .. Many thanks again

If I had a ruff idea where the leak was coming from I'd be using ur stuff for sure but ATM I have no idea :(

No worries pal! With pressurising the system, I wouldn't like to say! A non turbo car yea fine to find cracks in Manifolds etc! But wouldn't like to say yes and blow up your car!

Can you not just use soapy water in a spray bottle?

Tried it :( and cannot find it :cry: Need to pressurise the system to find leak :thumb:

Ok mate, make ur own tester it's all the rage on nasioc, I was reading about it on there just the other day

That's what I'm trying to do ... I've just ordered some valves via eBay but I'm just need to understand what I have to do... Ie what points I pressurise from and if I need to blank any point off to close the system off and if 20psi is safe

What blow off valve have you got?.

I have a forge Chav valve ;)

I would put the standard re circ one back on mate, you'll probably notice an improvement.

Bumpppp..

Dose any 1 no what is a safe psi to use from the turbo intake point
&
What points I need to block off ( v5 ) with catch can
