Boost leak testing question

chengsta · 03-02-2005

I was just wondering if there's a way to test for boost leak? I have all the lines zip tied but still not able to push the 15psi with my new SSQV BOV. I ran 15psi with my 1g BOV fine.

It may be a good idea to also give the specifics on what car you're dealing with in case any members have specific tips for you in regards to tracking down the leak.

Plus it's in the rules for posting a tech thread...
