    Boost leak test is this a goodun?



    Quick vid of a boost leak test done earlier today.
    Appears to hold pressure for a good while.
    This look good?

    Looks good to me. Make sure the DV holds vacuum too.

      Didn't look like you started at 1 Bar. The leak down was quite fast. Did you hear anything? Spray bottle with soapy water can be your friend.

        Yes, true, he starts at about .75 Bar. If that includes the IM/ valves/pistons then it's pretty slow though.

          It dose indeed include IM/ valves/pistons.
          I'm paranoid about getting to 1 bar as the maf hose expands so much even at this pressure

            Are you using boost leak kit or is it hand made?
