boost leak test

[gstowner]

Hi,
I have a couple questions. Im about ready to do a boost leak test. I made my own coupling device. What my questions are is. How much psi should I shoot in. And my other is is it sopposed to leak anywhere and if so where?

Thanks guys

20 psi and it should hold for a few moments. It WILL leak from your BOV because the 2G BOV is poorly made. That will be your second upgrade. First being a Boost Gauge.

I already have a greddy type s bov. Will it still leak and if it does will it atleast hold the air for longer than the stock bov?

It shouldn't leak then. Unless the flange has a leak.

Awesome yeah I dont think the flange would have a leak the bov is pretty knew. So all I have to do is shoot 20 psi in and listen for the leak?
