Boost Leak Test #failing
06 MR
FP HTA3586 .82
GSC s3
Problem:
-pressure through engine to do boost leak test does not build pressure high enough to find leaks (will not go over 5psi).
-The cold side of turbo leaks, air is coming out of exhaust.
Tried:
-Engine at TDC, plugged the MBC, Valve Cover[right side]
-engine to running temp
- Video of area leaking from turbo.
Resolution:
-Any one have suggestions for resolution?

from the video u can see moisture coming from the turbo, definitely leaking from turbo.
i remember someone had a similar problem and they eventually contacted FP
i just searched for that thread and your in there too, so you've been having this problem for like 2 years now :-(

I am having the same exact problem. I cannot build pressure past 10 psi do to a major leak. It's leaking through my valve cover, and dip stick if removed. It's not the pcv valve. I still don't know where it's leaking from. I am guessing through my valves. I did compression test, and got like 125, 96, 105, 135. I don't know if it's related.
