A lot of times the leak is so big that you don't hear anything. It was like that when Shane blew his end tank apart.

No look for leaks! Take a bottle of sopy water and spray it all over anywhere there is an intersection while someone else pressurizes the system. Its a pretty simple process I dont know how anyone is supposed to guide you through it any easier unless they do it for you...

I know what you are talking about. So on all my couplers test this? Sounds good thanks.

OK the boost leak tester isnt to test your gauge just for listening to find your leak a boost leak tester dosent build pressure in the vacuum lines just the turbo piping thats why it dosent work

It will build pressure in your system and it will show on your boost gauge. Unless the leak is really big then it might show nothing at all on the gauge.

Try putting the tester on your t-body elbow. Then you can narrow down the spots at where it could be leaking from.

Don't say something unless you know what the hell you are talking about. Are the vacuum lines connected to the intake manifold? Yes. Does it pressurize the intake manifold? Yes. Therefore it has to put pressure to the vacuum lines also.

Anyway thanks for all the help. I'll keep trying different things. The car runs fine so I don't know whats up. I just want to know why thats wrong.

Ok i explained that a little wrong it depends on what line your gauge is hooked up to
if its on the fpr line or the solenoid on the fire wall which is 12v an takes power to turn it on so if you didnt have the key on that could be why or the engine might have to be started which you cant do with a boost leak tester on the car. And i belive that the vacuum ports on the TB are after the TB plate which means they wouldnt see full boost or vacuum unless the TB is open. An I dont have all the vacuum lines on my car i pulled them all except the ones i needed an i got rid of all the solenoids if ya didnt know you can do that it gets rid of the extra cludder an just something extra to go wrong.
