Re: Boost Leak testing question

Leaks at the TB shaft are common, but they usually aren't all that big. They aren't all that simple fix either, so most people live with them. Yours sounds like a big leak, unless its just your compressor is running out of air too quick. Do you have a regulator on the compressor? Usually you want to fill the compressor tank all the way up to it's highest pressure and then use a regulator to turn it down to 15psi or whatever on your boost gauge in the car and then pinpoint leaks. Then at least you might have some airflow for a couple minutes, unless your tank is tiny.

I wouldn't try to rebuild it myself, if it's still under warrenty. If you find more wrong with when you take it apart, then you will definately be screwed.
