dont you have to turn your key to the on position when doing this? Not starting it just turning the key forward?

Or PM me and bring it over this weekend. I'll do it for you for a case of beer.

I'll do it for free... if you buy my 6 bolt. :D

we pretty much do that ( what the site does) but use a regulator to put so much pressure in it and hten shut your supply off and then see if your pressure drops or stays

[racedude1984]

make a tight fitting around the turbo usually with a boot of some sort and fill it full of air....



NEVER START THE CAR WITH IT COMPRESSED
bad things will happen... I usually take mine up too about 10-15 psi...

doing a test like this will find big leaks but you can't get them all. A boost leak test will put components under a non-normal state of HOLDING pressure unlike the normal moving air around.... You may have to cap off a few things like on a stock SRT we have to cap off the PCV valve.... Best of luck thou.

People sell boost leak testers on dsm forums all the time..
