Turbo charge pipe pressure test

Re: Turbo charge pipe pressure test
As a diagnostic tool, I end up needing to do this pretty often...It's a good idea to test a new setup this way too, especially MAF cars. I usually go from the compressor inlet and go at least 5-10psi over the highest boost it will ever see.

Re: Turbo charge pipe pressure test
I know how to do it bolt it on to the compressor side where the intake would go on and use a tire nipple and blow it up.. I dont know if this would do any damage to the turbo and does the turbine fines spin while you do this... I found a leak on my charge pipe where the ssq was welded on i gotta re do it on monday.. at first i thought the hks was actually leaking but its ok it was the weld didnt suspect that i been running 6psi before and never knew...

It won't hurt the turbo and it won't spin unless you have a huge leak and there is some signifigant flow across the compressor while you are trying to pressurize it.

Thanks for that i thought the same way but some one pointed it wouldnt be good to do a boost leak the put pressure in the system when there is no oil going threw the turbo... I was little worried its a new 60trim BB.. dont want to have to buy another
