It would be better to use a vacuum system smoke leak tester. Just fill the turbo and intake system with the smoke, then use your pressure system there to push the smoke out if the holes are small and need the pressure to show the leak.

Hell yeah!!!!

[@MrKdemint]

Do you have a link to what you bought to test it??

[@jakobdowney355]

It's not fine to use 100psi. If you theoretically fix all the boost leaks and pump 100psi into the system your gonna blow something creating another boost leak or worse

[@FormulaJake]

With new boots it held 100psi, so I'm not worried about it.

Not only that, certain components might just not be able to handle the pressure and just straight up break, sensors, your intake manifold, blow off valve, etc. Better to test at the max pressure you expect to see during normal operation

​@@MrTurbo_honestly have to agree with you bro.

Love your gauge is taped down l o l

9.7 would be a good number if you can keep it in a straight line Good luck
