I just spend a good hour seartching for a thread that teaches how to make a boost leak tester and i have found nothing iv seen threads here before but cannot find them now so im asking how to make a damned boost leak tester..cause i know i have sum bad leaks.
 
when you do this test what is considered safe level of boost and also the negine should be warmed up right..
thanks
 
What about those boost leak tester there are placed directly on the inlet of the turbo? How do they work, Should I use a compressor with my trottle opened or closed?

Because those tests mentioned by you guys only can be performed if I have the pipes not installed in the car, am I right?

Is there any documentation regarding on how to do this procedure? With the compressor on the inlet of the turbo?

Regards

Both of the links posted are for testing from the compressor housing of the turbo, its pretty clear in the 1st link, and yes all the pipes are in the car. Some opt to test off the lower IC pipe inlet and bypass the turbo due to air leaking past the seals in the turbo when there is no oil pressure. You'll probably want to test your system to how much boost you plan on running.
