Boost Leak Test Help Sat. 11/12 Options

[Kazz5]

This isn't really a one-man job and I'd like to feel that I did a thorough job once and for all. I'm looking for a couple of experienced ears (experienced at locating boost leaks, thanks) to pitch in. I've got everything I need to get her up and even effect any needed repairs and/or replacements (except JB Weld and the new FMIC had DAMN sure better not need it).

Saturday probably right after lunch but I'll get a time up once I clear it with the household social director, heh.

I'm in Peoria, off of Willow Knolls and I would imagine should have local help. Anybody's welcome, of course.

I want this done Saturday because, dammit, Sunday's for football - and that social director agrees.

I've got an ignition to go on as well - no big deal just four wires to splice, really, with 4 new plugs. And while I'm at the electrical I never did wire up the boost gauge for her lights ... hmmm... *laugh* I can take care of the little things. It's the boost leaks I'd like a good thorough once-over done.

Thanks!

I would not attempt at pumping that much "dry" air into the system. You risk blowing out some seals.........

You should be able to find leaks at 14psi..if its not leaking at 14psi, its probably not leaking at 25

Dunno, but point about the seals is well taken ... how about 18?

... besides, won't the BOV take care of anything over max boost?
