Well I have been asked by some of my local members how I went about making my boost leak tester, and how much it cost me.

As I needed to make one for a fellow member i decided to take some pictures and post up. All the materials required to make this tester were purchased at Home Depot.











Once you put the tester together it should look like this(see below). The only variable part that might change is the 2'' to 2'' coupler i used. The greddy kit's intake pipe is 2'', so depending on your turbo inlet this might change.
I.e. 2'' to 3'' for the gt35r



Use a compressor or a bike air pump to pressurize the system to about 10-12 psi, and look for leaks with soapy water. Ill post some pictures with the tester hooked up to my kit later.



Here is a copy of the receipt, you can get the part #'s if you wish.

Total cost was $22.03

Happy testing.

 

Thats a pretty good idea. Good job.

 

Thanks for posting, Gotta make a stop at HD soon..

 

I see you paid with a $100 bill...thats so baller but what are you going to do about the 2" rubber coupling...it clearly states "For Sewer & Drain Use Only" Yeah...but seriously thanks for the tester idea that gadget looks very useful...I'd say if you open the throttle plate it'd be good for finding vacuum leaks too.

 

If you put enough pressure through it, it will also show if your blow off valve is holding boost well im sure.

 

Well done man
