As title, need to finaly know if my boost is leaking away into the ether. I have looked at the guide on here but don't have the necessary bits required to do it. Is there anyone that's done it recently in my area that still has all the bits and the knowledge that wouldn't mind helping out?:notworthy

i dont have the bits, i have never had to use them. most boost leaks are simple to fine, run your hands round your pipework, ellow sailor, you should feel the leaks mate.

how do you know you've got a boost leak? lumpy? over fuelling?

Hello mate:wave:. Cack idle, boost seems to come in later than I think it should.......and it seems a little underpowered. Polo had a go in it when he put my mani etc on, he said it went well but I think he was just being kind lol

piece of cake.

block the air intake with a can of something

block the exhaust with a rubber glove

inflate system via boost gauge pipe

watch as glove inflates, proving you have pressure

listen for psssssssssssssssssssss


I found wing mount hole like that :)

That way seems alot easier than the other way, but why is the other way so complicated if it doesn't need to be?? ie lots more blocking of various pipes in different places???
