#27043, "SMIC + Stage 1 done but got a question"


          

How are you guys checking for boost leaks??? I had to cut/weld some parts and I checked the seams with water, but now I'm not sure if maybe it could be leaking around the couplers. I haven't driven the car, since the bumper is off of the car. Will there be any butt-dyno feel between 5 lbs IC'd and not IC'd? I'm pretty stoked about getting to drive the car that I haven't driven in about a month or so. BTW she was pretty pissed when I did get it fired up! Thanks.

Shit is all apart. Typical...

You make a boost leak tester. Its basicaly 2-2.5" PVC pipe cap with a tire valve in the end of it. You use a coupling to attatch it to the turbo and then you hook up a air compressor to it and pressurize the pipes. Then you listen and feel for leaks. Its easily made form homedepot for around $3.
