Description
Get your boost back and get Full Performance From Your Turbo!
This boost leak tester kit is designed to fit over the two inlet pipes of your turbo charger and allows you to pressurize the whole charge system with compressed air while the vehicle is off. Both turbo inlet pipes will be capped to prevent air from escaping. The test pressure can be monitored on both sides with the boost gauges installed on the boost leak testers. It is ideal to cap off the lines attached at the turbo intake pipe. The proper sized caps are provided in this kit.
This is an important tool every turbo car owner needs in their arsenal of tools. It will keep the turbo healthy by eliminating leaks in the boost path and not allowing it to over speed compensating for a boost leak. This will eventually lead to bearing wear and shaft play.
- Boost leak testing is a must if:
- The vehicle is tuned (DS1 or APR stage I, II, III) especially since the boost levels are elevated and any leaks put an enormous load on the turbos to compensate for the leak.
- You are replacing any components in the intake tract such as charge hoses, intercooler, manifold, vac lines, injectors…etc.
- You are going to the track and want the peace of mind that the turbo wont over-work or risk blowing any hoses off that are loose!
