Who's got an inlet pressure tester in SouthEast? - find boostleak
ok ive FINALLY got my car back, woot.
one minor problem tho, im ptryy sure ive got a boost leak, its fine at idle etc. its only under boost its not.
symptoms, slighly slugish/laggy acceleration and wont hold full boost higher up int he rev range.
also before this happened i had a boost hose come off and ive had to reattach it and tighten it with a screwdriver... lol
so anyway, i know that MSD use a really funky inlet pressure tester thingie where they can pressurise the intake and then easily spot leaks (last time i was up there Will found about a dozen... lol) but who else has got this facility as i dont really fancy a trip all the way up to blackpool just so they can spent 5 minutes running a simple test
experience tells me that without it it could take a long time to find the issue

I've got a test kit that just blanks the intakes and then you pressurise it and search for the leaks Got it off the bay, wasn't sure at first but it does work well enough
