anything under $150 is going to be pretty crappy. won't last long, won't flow enough cfm. you can find decent deals though. Just keep in mind the specs for the tool you plan on using.

has anyone had a boost leak in one of their fuel injectors? i pressurize the system to 20-25 like stated and the only place i got air coming out is the far right injector. i know it is that cause if you wiggle it you can hear the hiss change. im thinking it's a bad o ring on the injector but im not sure. any suggestions?

conroy9940 · 08-16-2007, 11:21 AM

get a new o-ring for the injector and you'll be good togo

Fact?

So since I have the AGP bov plate I need to turn it, to the On position? But then I will get the overboost code? Just reset the computer afterwards right?

i have the mopar BOV plate and i turned it to the on position and i did not get a over boost code. all of the air came out of my mopar BOV in less than 2 sec tho

I had to key-cycle my car a few times to get my Mopar BOV to seal completely. I no longer have a Mopar BOV installed. Not because it leaked but because it was annoying after 70,000mi.

It could be that the hose isn't sitting flush. Or if the hose has a leak, replace it with a new hose, and replace the worm clamp with a T-Clamp as well.

hey thanks bro this helps alot i hope im not leaking

hey just wanted to make sure when u test the boost you use the in car boost guage to see what pressure is in the system right?

jaymzx · 06-29-2008, 11:19 AM

Yea it's easier to have two people do it. Someone in the car to read out the boost level and the other to run the leak tester. Alternately, you can have a pressure gauge on your air line while pressurizing.
