4" Universal Turbo Boost Leak Tester Kit - Billet Aluminum - 30 PSI Gauge - with 5 Ft Extension Hose & 150 PSI Regulator

Get your boost back!

This boost leak tester is designed to fit over the inlet flange of your turbocharger and allows you to pressurize the turbo and charge system with compressed air while the vehicle is off. It now includes the 5 ft extension hose kit with shut-off valve and 150 PSI air regulator for precise control over your shop air.

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 and not allowing it to overspeed compensating for a boost leak. 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.

Why add the extension hose kit with regulator?

This will allow you to have precise control over the pressure entering into your turbo system. Almost mandatory for use in any shop environment where the preset shop air is too high for a boost leak test and needs to be regulated down.

The 5 ft extension hose allows you to stand free and clear from the tester (in case it pops off) and allows you to comfortably regulate the pressure as needed. The ball valve lets you turn the pressure into the system on and off - this can be very important for you to check the decay or bleed rate after filling the system with pressure. The bleed rate lets you know how well the system holds, and this can only be done by cutting off the pressure to the tester.

Simple Steps to Use the Boost Leak Tester:

• Remove the intake hose/pipe off your turbocharger's inlet
• Install the boost leak tester onto the turbocharger's inlet and secure with the T-bolt clamps
• Regulate the pressure down to 0 PSI, connect the regulator kit and allow 5 PSI of pressure to fill the system
• Listen for leaks. Use soapy spray if necessary to identify smaller leaks
• Fix any leak points and then retest. Increase by 5 PSI up to the normal operating boost pressure
• Go out and boost! Enjoy the restored power from your engine

It is normal to see pressure loss averaging 1 PSI every second. The bleed rate is faster at higher pressures and slower at lower pressures.
