TheOne&Only · 09-09-2008, 10:09 PM

ok well i final got up the courage to take of my bop and i found that there was not gasket on it so i made one and put it back on (I now know the nightmare of the 3rd bolt) and it dosnt seem to be leaking whe im driving but when i try the tester large amouts of air still pour out of it. how do i keep the bop closed to test it i tried key cycling.

Take off oil cap during boost leak test to relieve crank case pressure and not blow crank/cam seals?

i replaced my gasket on the blue plate and i am still getting air pouring out of the holes on the plate, key cycling to no effect, do i need to run the car around a little bit first?

Hey Hey
Guys you should only have no more then 20 psi going in to the test.When I made my pvc tester we bang it on the shop floor and then tried to take it apart and could so we put it on add the air wow did we have leaks as I found and fix them the sound started to stop then bang apart it came LOL.Well we ran to home depot for pvc glue put it back together and found the rest of the leaks.we just install a larger intercooler and it time to check to see if we have any leaks

Hey Hey
If you get it right you will find all your leaks.When we made our tester we could not find my PVC glue so we just use a hammer and a block of wood to put it together and started to find my leaks at 20 lbs after we fix about 4 leaks pow and the tester blow apart so we went to home depot for more glue and put it back together and found a few more leaks so go slow and you an get it to work but use glue and not a hammer LOL
