6" inch TURBO BOOST LEAK TESTER - PREMIUM ALUMINUM

Description: Get your boost back! This high quality boost leak tester is designed to perform a boost leak test for your turbo charged engine. This is an important tool that every turbo car owner needs in their arsenal of tools. It is going to keep the turbo healthy by eliminating leaks in the boost path. It is a must if you are tuned and or going to get a custom tune, or any time you are replacing any components in the intake tract such as charge hoses, intercooler, manifold, vacuum lines, injectors…etc. Also a must if you are going to the track and want the peace of mind that everything is tight and capable of handling sustained boost without blowing any hoses off. Application: · Universal size - Any Turbo Inlet with a 6” inlet Design Features:Billet 6061 Aluminum End Cap with 1/8" NPT threaded gauge port & 1/4" NPT air fitting portHigh quality 4-layer silicon couplerCustom Stainless Steel 15 PSI / 1 Bar Boost Gauge15 PSI range will give you the appropriate reading when testing your charge pipes for low, medium or high boost levels.*New* 1/4" NPT Air fitting M-TYPE & Universal Tire Schrader Valve (2) Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps with Teflon lock-nutLifetime warranty on gauge, end cap and fitting How do I know if I have a Boost Leak?? Typically the boost target will be lower than what is expected by the tune Boost onset could be erratic Slower than normal spool-up P-codes, P0299 under boost, Check engine lights – system too rich What happens to the turbo charger if there is a boost leak?? Any leak will cause the turbo’s wheels to over-spin and result in bearing to wear out eventually causing shaft play! This happens faster with larger leaks. This conditions then allows for the turbo’s wheel tips to make physical contact with the turbo housing. It’s over for your turbo at that point! Simple Steps to Use the Boost Leak Tester: 1. Remove the intake hose/pipe off your turbo chargers inlet 2. Install the boost leak tester onto the turbo chargers inlet and secure with the T-bolt clamps 3. Pressurize the boost leak tester with an air compressor and a tire inflator tool. The air compressor should be a minimum of 2 gallon volume. The larger the compressor, the more capacity you have to fill the engine’s charge pipes. A bike pump or electric pump will not supply enough air fast enough to fill the system 4. *Caution! - When filling the system, start with a low pressure around 5 PSI. Recommended to regulate the compressor to a lower pressure and only increase if filling is too slow. · The boost gauge reading indicates how much compressed air is in the charge pipes. · The boost gauge allows you to read the bleed rate of charge pipes when you remove the pressure. It is normal to see pressure loss average of 1psi every second. Faster bleed rate at higher pressures and slower bleed rate at lower pressures 5. Listen for leaks. Use soapy spray if necessary to identify smaller leaks. 6. Fix any leaks points and then retest. Increase by 5psi up to the normal operating boost pressure. 7. Go out and Boost! Enjoy the restored power from your engine! Disclaimer: By purchasing this tester you assume all risk when working with compressed air. It is required to use certified safety goggles. Also you need to know that the larger diameter of your turbo inlet, the clamp needs to work exponentially harder. Example if a 2” boost leak tester is clamped down and test pressure is 10psi, then the clamp force needs to be 31 lbs. A 4” boost leak tester is not double the force, but squared. So the 4” clamp would need to support 125 lbs!! I assume no responsibility to any damage incurred to you or your vehicle from use of this product.
