hey i have a boost\pressure question that i need answered right nooooow....someone please IM me at justin0469. the question is my air tank has like 35 psi in it but that just refers to how much air is in the tank right? how long should i keep it on my boost leak tester b4 i listen for leaks? i dont have the time or money for a boost gauge.

If you don't have the time or money for a boost gauge, you are in the wrong type of car. Without knowing how much pressure is in your system (not the tank) you risk damage during the leak test and on the road. Save up 30bucks and get a boost gauge.

Just use a tire pressure gauge and check the pressure frequently as you pressurize the intake system.

...and get a damn boost gauge.

well i did it with no gauge and im fine so ha thanks though guys. like someone else said..."unless you have the throttle body open when ur pressuring even like a 120psi compressor wouldnt overpressure the system unless it was on there for like 10 min"

Good luck guessing at boost while driving, and congrats on finishing the job.

Its all good, but you really should look into getting one if you plan on modifying your car.
