A little help on pressure testing

[Jonas_R]

Hi,

Well will have to do some serious pressure testing.

I was planning to block off the 3 small hoses going into the IM and then apply pressure at where the small hose connects to the diverter valve. However iam unsure what happens when i apply pressure since the fuel regulator will come under pressure aswell, will it hold the pressure or will the pressure leak out there?

When testing the big hoses, i was planning on testing from the turbo outlet and the all the way up to the IM, does this seem right?

How can i best test the WG? since my local dealer how change the WG membrane said the the shaft looked really worn or bad. IMO i dont value his word that high, but can i test if the shaft is oki somehow. I can get my fingers on a used WG for around 50£, but can one change the shaft?

Also i have no idea how to test the PVC system since this also seems to be able to make overboost cutoff?

Jonas,

the bit on testing to the IM is right.

As for WG get hold of a mitivac tool and plug that onto the spare connection on the wastegate, pump its vacuum up and leave for a min or two and see if any pressure is lost.

Greg:

What about the part on testing the small hoses, thus that seem correct to you?
