This boost leak tester is designed to fit over the inlet flange of your turbo charger and allows you to pressurize the charge system with shop compressed air while the vehicle is off. This allow you to listen for leaks that become easily identifiableFast Free Shipping - 2-day shipping service to most statesSame day processing & shipping for orders placed before 3:30 PST / 6:30 EST The silicone coupler has a 3" inner diameter. Fits over 3" turbo inlets or 3" hard intke pipe. The End cap O.D. is 2" and can be slipped inside flexible hoses with 2" inner diameter and adapted to other silicone adapters as well!Anti-Slip bead and grooves machined on hose mating surface. End Cap made from 6061 Solid Billet Aluminum and Anodized -Custom Premium 30 PSI (2Bar) Boost Gauge - Stainless Steel and liquid filled for a shock proof design. Universal Tire Schrader Valve & Compressor fittings included. Stainless Steel T-Bolt ClampsGet your boost back and get Full Performance From Your Turbo! 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 you are tuned or any time you are replacing any components in the intake tract such as charge hoses, intercooler, manifold, vac lines, injectors…etc. Also a must if 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! Importance of the boost gauge?The boost gauge is absolutely necessary for a safe and proper test! Not having a gauge readout on a boost leak test is similar to filling air in your car's tire without a gauge. You just don't know how much air is in the tire and risk a blow out! It’s wise to know how much pressure is actually going into the charge system to avoid over-pressurization and prevent damage to the engine and to yourself. Benefits of Gauge:1. Allows you to apply a safe amount of pressure to prevent injury or damage2. read how fast the system holds and bleeds air3. Gives a good comparison of compressor outlet air Vs. boost test air while pressurizing. (lower the difference the better) How do I know if I have a Boost Leak?? Typically the boost target will be lower than what is expected by the tune Boost onset could be erratic Slower than normal spool-up P-codes, Check engine lights – system too rich What happens to the turbo charger if there is a boost leak?? Any leak will cause the turbo’s wheels to over-spin and result in bearing to wear out eventually causing shaft play! This happens faster with larger leaks. This conditions then allows for the turbo’s wheel tips to make physical contact with the turbo housing. It’s over for your turbo at that point! Simple Steps to Use the Boost Leak Tester: 1. Remove the intake hose/pipe off your turbo chargers inlet2. Install the boost leak tester onto the turbo chargers inlet and secure with the T-bolt clamps3. Pressurize the boost leak tester with an air compressor and a tire inflator tool. The air compressor should be a minimum of 2 gallon volume. The larger the compressor, the more capacity you have to fill the engine’s charge pipes. A bike pump or electric pump will not supply enough air fast enough to fill the system4. Caution! - When filling the system, start with a low pressure around 5 PSI. Recommended to regulate the compressor to a lower pressure and only increase if filling is too slow. · The boost gauge reading indicates how much compressed air is in the charge pipes.· The boost gauge allows you to read the bleed rate of charge pipes when you remove the pressure. It is normal to see pressure loss average of 1 PSI every second. Faster bleed rate at higher pressures and slower bleed rate at lower pressures5. Listen for leaks. Use soapy spray if necessary to identify smaller leaks.6. Fix any leaks points and then retest. Increase by 5 psi up to the normal operating boost pressure.7. Go out and Boost! Enjoy the restored power from your engine! Disclaimer: By purchasing this tester you assume all risk when working with compressed air. It is required to use certified safety goggles. Also you need to know that the larger diameter of your turbo inlet, the clamp needs to work exponentially harder. Example if a 2 inch boost leak tester is clamped down and test pressure is 10 psi, then the clamp force needs to be 31 lbs. A 4 inxh boost leak tester is not double the force, but squared. So the 4 inch clamp would need to support 125 lbs!! I assume no responsibility to any damage incurred to you or your vehicle from use of this product.
