The test in 4 steps

01

Install the tester

Slide the billet end cap over your turbo inlet or inside your flexible charge pipe. Secure with the included T-bolt clamp.

02

Pressurize the system

Connect a shop air compressor (2 gallons or larger) to the tire valve or air fitting. Start at 5 PSI with the vehicle off, then work up slowly. Never go past your normal boost.

03

Listen and locate

Walk the charge path: charge pipes, intercooler, BOV couplers, vacuum lines. Leaks are immediately audible as a hiss.

04

Fix and restore power

Tighten a loose clamp, replace a split hose, or reseal the leak. Re-test to confirm.
