Boost leak

[aboozel]

i made boost leak detector and tried it out. put it in the intake run the pressure up to 10psi and it leaked somewhere behind the turbo. my guess is the up pipes but how would the air get from the cold side to the hot side of the turbo. also have a leak at the rubber boots going into the engine.

its not on the up pipes. it maybe from the back of where the intake tube from the filter attaches to the turbo. OR, by a long shot, could be from where the turbo intake side halves come together? only placeI can figure from behind the turbo. you SURE its from back there? sounds can be very decieving. boost the pressure up to 30 and see if that helps.

You got any way to inject colored smoke in there.

[aboozel]

no way for smoke. i am going to remove the downpipe and turn the pressure up to see if that helps

[aboozel]

took the down pipe off, if i move the butterfly for ebpv the air leak gets alot worse if i move the rod around i can get it to almost stop leaking. i had the regulator on the air compressor set at 30psi and the air was leaking out as fast as it went in. any help is appreciated.

any help

That doesn't make sense. It shouldn't leak out the exhaust side at all.

[aboozel]

thats the only leak i could find i am goining to liberator performance tomorrow to see what they say

you could gut the EPBV.

if your putting air in the intake and don't have it plugged somewhere it will run right through the engine past the valves that are open and will go out through the exhaust.
