TB top ports/boost leak problems also

[Alex Bland]

Alright when i did a boost leak test there was bubbles from them even though they are blocked so i see some people connect 2 of them so like "p" and "a2" or what not. is that ok to do?

also need help with boost leak i had.. so for the test i blocked off the vent for the VC and when i did the test there was air coming from behind the exhaust cam gear like where the nut goes in. im not sure if it was because i blocked off the vc but it started to leak there at about 8psi.. any ideas?

You can loop the ports together with a vacuum line if you're not using them. The vacuum caps seem to tear and break apart quickly. I loop them with a hose myself.

And if you're leaking air at 8psi in the head, that could be a leak in your crank-case, which, my friend, is a very bad thing.

Sorry Reggie, but they need to be capped off. Some of them are pre-throttle plate and some post. Looping them creates a bypass if you happen to connect the pre with the post.

so ill just leave them all capped off just zip tie them down harder i guess thanks

If you keep having issues there, you can pull out the nipples, tap the holes, and thread in set screws. Takes a bit of work, however.
