Locating Boost Leaks

slader99 · 05-15-2008, 01:29 AM

Thanks for the help guys, I've tried to use propane to find the leak (similar to the start fluid method but with no results....)

I guess I will try the DIY boost tester, I know that the 3000 pipe outlet OD is 2 3/4" diameter, any idea of the turbo inlet OD?

Thanks in advance.

I guess if the boost test shows nothing, then my probelm lies between the throttle body and combustion chambers, or on the exausht side between the combustion chamber and turbo..... Would a crappy EGR valve cause this sort of issue?
