2G Boost leak test fail

[MasterMatt209]

I made my boost leak test the actual tester has no leaks but when I hook it up to my turbo and starry adding air into the system nothing happens the psi stays at zero what did I do wrong?

Where is they air leaking out from?

 

[MasterMatt209]

I can cant tell, Im gonna try to get the tester on the turbo better here pretty soon I'm also gonna jack the car so I can see if maybe something underneath is leaking

 

[pauleyman]

Are you adding air with a hand pump or a compressor?

 

[MasterMatt209]

It's a compressor not a big one though

You should be able to hear something with a leak that bad.

This happened to me quite a few times. I got angry and started wiggling the hose and it worked .

Use a spray bottle with water and soap start spraying around fuel injectors, IC piping bov etc etc etc

How little is the compressor? Is it one for tires u plug into cig lighter, or just a small one that's maybe shin high? You might not be adding air quick enough to hear the leaks. Just a thought

I took my car up to the gas station, popped off my intake from turbo, and used their big ones they have for public use for .50$. Found the leaks at my j pipe instantly. Then found a few more the second trip. I still do this every now and then.

It's a cig lighter one I was also giving a thought on taking it to my local gas station about a mile from my house but they have free air
