The DIESELSITE Boost Leak Detector tool is also a great addition to your tool box for use any time you have opened the turbo system and need to double check for leaks. Even the smallest of leaks (1-3 lbs) can cause tremendous loss of low end performance, slower turbo spool, and higher EGTs.
Simply connect this device to the inlet of the turbocharger and pressurize with a standard compressor from 10 to 20 psi. You will hear even the tiniest of leaks in seconds.
CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING:
Every setup has a different turbo inlet size. Make sure you choose the correct size tool for your turbo by measuring the outside diameter of the inlet of the turbo. This tool can work on any turbo without a bolt-on or specialized inlet boot style.
