2.5" inch TURBO BOOST LEAK TESTER - UNIVERSAL - 30 PSI Gauge - FREE SHIPPING

Description

Look No Further!
Turbo Boost Leak Testers, Inc
is dedicated to making boost leak testers – That’s it!
We have been producing testers and optimizing the design since 2007 with a few goals in mind - To keep them cost effective, simple and durable.  We also have a new line of Billet Aluminum testers in every size!
Design Features:
Durable PVC End Cap, 1/8" NPT threaded gauge port & fitting port
Silicon Coupler - High quality 4 layer
Boost Gauge - Custom 30 PSI / 1Bar
30 PSI range will give you the appropriate reading when testing your charge pipes for low, medium or high boost levels.
Tire Valve Fitting: Universal Tire Schrader Valve (can be tapped for 1/4" NPT thread fitting if desired)
(2) Stainless Steel Clamps
Get your boost back!
This high quality boost leak tester is designed to perform a boost leak test for your turbo charged engine.
This is an important tool that every turbo car owner needs in their arsenal of tools.  It is going to keep the turbo healthy by eliminating leaks in the boost path.
It is a must if you are tuned and or going to get a custom tune, or any time you are replacing any components in the intake tract such as charge hoses, intercooler, manifold, vacuum lines, injectors, etc.
Also a must if you are going to the track and want the peace of mind that everything is tight and capable of handling sustained boost without blowing any hoses off.
Application:
·
Universal size - Any Turbo Inlet with a 2.5" inlet
How do I know if I have a Boost Leak??
Typically the boost target will be lower than what is expected by the tune
Boost onset could be erratic
Slower than normal spool-up
P-codes, Check engine lights, system too rich
Loss of fuel economy
What happens to the turbo charger if there is a boost leak??
Any leak will cause the turbos wheels to over-spin and result in bearing to wear out eventually causing shaft play!  This happens faster with larger leaks.  This conditions then allows for the turbos wheel tips to make physical contact with the turbo housing.  It is over for your turbo at that point!
Simple Steps to Use the Boost Leak Tester:
1.
Remove the intake hose/pipe off your turbo chargers inlet
2.
Install the boost leak tester onto the turbo chargers inlet and secure with the T-bolt clamps
3.
Pressurize the boost leak tester with an air compressor and a tire inflation tool.   The air compressor should be a minimum of 2 gallon volume.   The larger the compressor, the more capacity you have to fill the engines charge pipes.   A bike pump or electric pump will not supply enough air fast enough to fill the system
4.
*Caution!
- When filling the system, start with a low pressure around 5 PSI.  Recommended to regulate the compressor to a lower pressure and only increase if filling is too slow.
·
The boost gauge reading indicates how much compressed air is in the charge pipes.
·
The boost gauge allows you to read the bleed rate of charge pipes when you remove the pressure.   It is normal to see pressure loss average of 1psi every second.  Faster bleed rate at higher pressures and slower bleed rate at lower pressures
5.
Listen for leaks.   Use soapy spray if necessary to identify smaller leaks.
6.
Fix any leaks points and then retest.  Increase by 5psi up to the normal operating boost pressure.
7.
Go out and Boost!  Enjoy the restored power from your engine!
Disclaimer:
By purchasing this tester you assume all risk when working with compressed air.
It is required to use certified safety goggles.
Also you need to know that the larger diameter of your turbo inlet, the clamp needs to work exponentially harder.
Example if a 2 inch boost leak tester is clamped down and test pressure is 10 psi, then the clamp force needs to be 31 lbs.
A 4 inch boost leak tester is not double the force, but squared.
So the 4 inch clamp would need to support 125 lbs!!
