Hi,

i've been doing some boost leak testing today, and ive found a massive, loud leak. Problem is, I don't know where its coming from.

It sounds like its coming from around the center section of the turbo. Its not coming from the inlet or outlet. Doing some soapy water testing, those come out fine. It seems to be coming from an area not really visible with the turbo on the car... But its loud, and its bad.

Has anyone had issues with the turbo compressor housing itself leaking? Where else can air leak out of the compressor?

Help! THanks!
