Boost Leak!!! Cant Find It. But Hear It

[Kmendes00]

Ok I have a 2004 srt, today I just did a boost leak test,as I did it I had the key turned and i also watched the wastegate arm open as i put air in it. I have a stock intake, so I didnt put the tester right on the turbo, I put it on the plastic pipe coming from the turbo, it went up to 20psi no problem, psi decreased a little fast, 1 second per psi, I got it up to 20psi and got under the car, listened for air comin from intercooler, cold side and hot side are fine, allthough the cold side pipe has some oil on the cuppler comin from the throttle body, other than that, My stock intake has the air box off and a filter on it, didnt hear any leaks from that area, but if i put my ear near the mopar BOV I can hear air, maybe from that or behind or under the turbo, alls i can see that might be it is theirs a blue plate under the turbo, not sure if its stock or what not. Its not a fast leak, sounds slow, its not hissing or anything, it just sounds like air going in. I couldnt get to the turbo outlet to see if that was it. Not sure what it is, cant feel it when i stick my hand near the wastegate, can only hear it from that region.

HELP would be great. thanks

You could get about a 3ft piece of water hose or something the same size from Lowes or Home Depot....Then put one end to your ear and the other to where you think the leak is from......This is how I do my test and pinpoint leaks pretty good.....

good idea

spray bottle with soapy water. leaks will bubble.

the pipe coming off the back of the turbo likes to loosen up. also if the mopar bov wasn't installed carefully it can leak.

The car always had the mopar BOV on it, bought it with 18 k on it..
how caN I get to the turbo outlet on the back of the turbo?
when your done with the boost leak test, and you stop pumping air, should you be able to hear anything if the car is fine?

Good luck...I took out my intake/battery to find my worm clamp was switched in a way I could get to it...you can also remove your down pipe from under neath the car to get a very good angle...
