I was explaing to this on an Audi forum so I decided HS could use a new write up.
Make a pressure tester, and check for leaks.
Go to home depot
Materials:
-a silicone/rubber coupler to fit over the intake port of the compressor housing.
-PVC cap to fit INSIDE the coupler you just bought
-A valve stem or fitting
Building Procedure:
-Drill a hole in the PVC cap big enough to pit the valve stem
-Insert the valve stem and seal it
-Put the PVC cap in the coupler and clamp it down.
Operating Procedure:
-Remove intake tube from turbo, our case would be a filter and a short pipe probably
-Attach "pressure tester" and clamp it down
Attach some type of source to the valve stem to pressurize the intake tubes. (i use a regular air compressor)
Pressurize to about 10-15 lbs. That's what I do anyway, a little more shouldn't hurt.
Listen for leaks, they're easily noticeable with a hissing sound, also spray some soapy water over ever inch of the intake if you think you're missing something, it will bubble where there are leaks.
This is a >$10 tool that's extremely useful..
Believe me this works very well and can save you a buttload of money in unneccassary diagnosing.
Sorry for the crappy pics, but I still haven't bought a new digicam
Yes mine is ugly, but it works well.
B needs to put me on the front page. lol
