can you pressure test your intake system?
#1
Ok, i think i have a boost leak and heard you can block off the inlet to the 2nd turbo and use a cap with nipple to pressurize the inlet to the primary turbo.
I did this and got zero pressure build up.
so i figured i would pressurize for the IC --> engine via the intake system
Built Zero pressure
bypassed the IC and now have a pressure cap in the elbow it builds zero pressure, leaking as fast as i can put it in.
So.... i am here with trying to understand the following: can you really pressurize from the intake elbow? or does it just bleed out of vacuum lines or by the apex seals and out the exhaust?
This is what is critical that a) you can do it (pressurize from the elbow) and i have a massive fricking leak, or you can't do it and my car may not have a leak at all.
