gmendoza Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I was thinking of testing for boost leaks just to make sure everything is alright. Has anyone done this before on a v8? Any tips or common leak areas? Thanks Quote '03.5 Final Edition Esprit ~ 5.7lbs/hp mildly modded - 430rwhp, 353rwtq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydclements Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 You're going to have to plug up lots of things in order to test it really well, but I guess you could resort to coloured smoke at pressure inside the system and hopefully none of it comes out other than that the turbos. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmendoza Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Well, that went well. I ended up going to the hardware store and bought two 2" Fernco Quick Caps http://www.fernco.com/plumbing/residential...mbing/qwik-caps Then I made a hole on one of the caps and put a rubber tire valve stem. I put the caps over the turbo inlets and pressurized the system with a pump. Nothing had to be plugged and nothing leaked.
