Turbo Leaking

[allrice4g63]

OK so heres my problem boost leak tested and tested and retested my 2g talon with a 14 b swap, I have absoutely no leaks on the system except it is leaking out somewhere on the turbo its self, NO not on the Jpipe either. it sounds like its coming underneath between the cylinder head and turbo or somewhere in that vacinity. does anybody know where it could be leaking. i pressurize the system to about 10 15 pounds and it slowly drops doesnt seem to be a major leak but it is a leak. I wanna get this thing sealed up like a submarine so i can start adding other mods and stuff but for now i am stuck at this. please post back. Oh and the turbo on the car only has about 2k on it

Get a spray bottle full of soapy water and spray it all over where you think the leak is. Thats really all you can do at this point.

ya im waiting on getting my air tank back this after noon and im gonna go boost test crazy . HEY broken tsi didnt you have some MAF's for sale because i think i have a more then just a boost leak ### my VERY SMART friend said to take the honeycombs outa of my maf so i think that is no good anymore.

I bet its coming from where the compressor housing is C clamped onto the rest of the turbo. Meaning you'll have to take the turbo out to fix it.

i took the turbo out tnite and it seems it is leaking where that snap ring holds the compressor housing. I did a boost leak test on it out of the car and it is leaking where the compressor housing and turbo meet theres like a little line up pin. i tryed putting the snap ring in the other way and it still leaked could it be the big oring on the turbo its self?
