Go to HowStuffWorks - Learn How Everything Works! And search for "turbocharger". Very good write up there.

im really happy to see a new member totally new to the turbo genre, doing a boost leak test , that is usually the last thing i see, im used to " yo dawg where can i get a LOUD blow off valve!" and then " why does my car stall in between shifts!!!!!!??!?! " so good job any information you need you will find it here.

Also to run a boost leak test you really dont need to know the specifications of your car. Just pop off the intake pipe with the filter and MAF attached and stick the boost leak tester on the turbo inlet and pressurize. It is a very good idea to boost leak test early and often especially if you are constantly playing with your car like me
