Re: boost ??

Do you have the boost leak tester kit? It consists of a quiet well lit garage, rubber cap with bike valve on the end to go over compressor inlet, A squirt bottle with soapy water, and a compressor with the air valve fitting to pressurize the system. Works all the time. If you need help building one, berda and i made one in about 30 min. Fleet farm, napa, and home depot will have all you need.

A 4 inch long piece of 2.5" O.D. (outside diameter) hose. (I used some radiator hose I got at NAPA)
1.5" I.D. (inside diameter) PVC end cap.
2 band clamps that will fit around the 2.5" pipe above.
A valve stem (I used the rubber type you press in)

With this you can get a rough idea on what you need. I would recommend using the valve stems that bolt in, they dont leak for sure. Eliminate one leak at a time.

On the same topic, I did a test on our galant vr4, I found 4 major leaks in the first 5 minutes. It's really worth it. The last major leak i cant fix is a leak by the isc motor, Its a massive leak and i cant build up more than 6 psi, it just whistles and howls loudly, and when i spray the soapy water down there instantaneously huge bubbles appear. This is on the throttle body. Any ideas?
