Boost Leak Test?

[husker3in4]

Can anyone guide me to who will do a boost leak test on my 99 Eclipse GST in Omaha, NE? When I call most places, they act like they have never heard about a boost leak test. Any help is appreciated!

Here's a real noob comment I have never been able to get a boost leak test to work! Not sure what I'm doing wrong....but I her air flowing all over, in the valve cover, from the tailpipe, etc. I keep wondering if I need to rotate the crank to a specific position?

Like very noob! I always used to pay a shop to do it.

Here are a few videos to help guide you threw the entire process. It is really quite simple once you create the tool.

This is by far my favorite tester:

I've made my own and bought from bootpro, all of which pop off at a certain boost level. ^This one has yet to disappoint me.

Thanks for the links, but I really dont think my automotive skills are up to the task. Can anyone recommend who in the Omaha area may be able to do this?

Luv2rallye, thanks I figured there was a trick to it. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tips guys. I actually found a shop in Elkhorn, NE which is just a few miles away to do the boost test leak.
