118178, Did a boost leak test. But weird leak happened.
Posted by Venz, Sep-13-07 04:40 PM
So I did a boost leak test with the boostpro.com boost leak tester.

I used a heavy duty air compressor and pumped air into the inlet of the turbo. The thing is, there is a crazy leak or something.. within 4-5 seconds the 6 psi pressure in the car's piping would be gone.

I checked it. I m pretty sure it is coming from my hahn kit's fuel pressure regulator, is it suppose to leak air? and leaking it so fast?

for you guys, how long does it take before the pressure you put into the system drop?

spray some soapy water on the fpr by the vacuum/boost line to verify.
