Boost Leak Test... w/ smoke machine?
#31
update:
well went in this morning, got the machine hooked up... I was a lil excited, hoping this should definitely find any leaks, but unfortunately... NO leaks. (other than the BOV, although it didnt leak @ 15psi) It was the unit ^^^ that pressurizes up to 15 psi. I asked, and 15psi was being run thru...
That was great and all, but now Im not sure if 15psi is enough to really show coupler leaks, or "high load/boost" leaks, as I was expecting atleast 1 leak somewhere...
and I misunderstood him when we were talking bout springs/BOV's. He was talking about swapping the entire BOV out, for an adjustable, not just the spring... (we were talking bout springs as well) He has a client w/ a suby (clutch)thats bringing him a BOV later on today, and asked if I wanted to try it out (free) so I said hell ya... we'll see...
