I believe my RS49T is leaking as well. Can I work on this while the turbo is bolted on? Will there be anything that may fall out if I try doing it this way?

it will be a very tight sqeeze to get to the turbo but its easier than taking out the entire turbo. Yous shouldnt have any problems with items falling out working on the turbo in the car.PSIcho said:I believe my RS49T is leaking as well. Can I work on this while the turbo is bolted on?

RTV = Room Temperature Vulcanizing Silicone.MarsaGSX said:Nice,
but ..tell me what RTV means
what about use fiber-paper seal?...cut whole thin ring from fiber paper?

Little late wouldn't you say?Room Temperature Vulcanizing
Cures @ room temperature
, yeah I guess I didnt see there was another page.Little late wouldn't you say?
Check the date stamp on that post., yeah I guess I didnt see there was another page.
So how goes it, Tyler?
...Also, when doing the "boost leak test", if pressure is pushed into the comp. cover housing air will leak out through the seal to the center section. This is because the testing is normally done with the engine off and without the usual 40+ psi of oil pressure pushing from the inside of the center section outwards keeping it sealed. So yes, some pressure may be lost there.
Just my .02,

I wouldn't waste your time manually pressurizing the oiling system. Just bypass the CHRA all together and boost leak test at the LICP.I noticed this as well on my PTE 50 Trim (journal bearing center section)... While doing a boost leak test, I couldn't build anything more then 5psi on my boost guage without having the boost pressure vent through the center section! I know that it is going back through the center section as i'm HEARING BUBLES COMMING UP FROM WITHIN THE OIL PAN.
FYI, I conducted these boost tests both under cold & warmed up conditions... Same result... I wonder if I manually presurize the oil system... hmmm......
