Why you need to do boost leak tests.

My car has been running sub par but still didn't seem too bad but some hesitation and most recently I'm not reaching 5 psi. So I hooked up the boost leak tester and tried to get it to hold pressure no luck so tracing the intercooler pipes I was able to determine my pipes and couplers were not leaking. The injectors however are a different story 2 horrible leaks on the seals in the manifold and at least one other one thats going.


Make sure your testing on a regular basis and regardless of how your cars performing.

Run seafoam through the bov. It helps you find leaks in the manifold as well.
