High quality premium components and direct customer service via phone, text, video.2" Billet 6061 CNC aluminum end cap anodized and anti-slip beaded edge for higher pressure testing. Stainless Steel shock proof 30 PSI (2Bar) Boost Gauge - All Stainless steel Tbolt clamps. Includes Silicon adapters for 2" to 2", 2.25", 2.5", 2.75" & 3". Lifetime Warranty on all parts - 100% Customer satisfaction is our goal! 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 compressed air while the vehicle is off. 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! Why have a Gauge? Absolutely necessary for a 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 system! It’s wise to know how much pressure is actually going into the charge system to prevent damage to the engine and to yourself. For example, if the compressor is unregulated (ex. shop air at 90 PSI) there is a risk that you can over-pressurized the system. Benefits of Gauge: 1. Allows you to apply a safe amount of pressure to prevent injury or damage 2. read how fast the system holds and bleeds air 3. Gives a good comparison of compressor outlet air Vs. boost test air while pressurizing. (lower the difference the better)Includes/Design Features: End Cap - Billet 6061 Anodized Aluminum, 1/8" NPT threaded gauge port & fitting port (5) Silicone Couplers - High quality 4 layer Adapters Sizes include: 2 inch, 2.25 inch, 2.5 inch and 2.75 inch Boost Gauge - Custom Stainless Steel 30 PSI / 1 Bar – Liquid filled 30 PSI range will give you the appropriate reading when testing your charge pipes for low, medium or high boost levels. Tire Valve Fitting: Universal Tire Schrader Valve (can be tapped for 1/4" NPT thread fitting if desired) (6) Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps 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 inlet 2. Install the boost leak tester onto the turbo chargers inlet and secure with the T-bolt clamps 3. 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 system 4. *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 1psi every second. Faster bleed rate at higher pressures and slower bleed rate at lower pressures 5. Listen for leaks. Use soapy spray if necessary to identify smaller leaks. 6. Fix any leaks points and then retest. Increase by 5psi up to the normal operating boost pressure. 7. Go out and Boost!
