[QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1474659, member: 13852"] Not trying to sell a turbo... just saying that a lot of guys don't think they have any leaks, but never really test for leaks. I had a guy recently that had his truck at the shop MANY TIMES and they kept blaming the turbo and assuring there were no leaks. They kept "replacing parts" but never actually checked for leaks. That is the problem I see the most is people just "look for leaks" instead of "testing for leaks" An easy way to check for exhaust leaks would be to have someone stick the truck in drive, hold the brake, and give it some gas. Mash the pedal to the floor and hold it as hard as you can without causing the truck to move (5-10 seconds). Look for any smoke coming out from behind the turbo. If you see any smoke then you need to find and fix the leak. It is best to be running a race tune and just MASH the throttle, then when the tire are about to spin let off and try again. You want to product black smoke if possible because it is easier to see. Best way to check for boost leaks is the use a "boost leak tester" and pressurize the intake side. Make sure everything is connected up (turbo to intercooler to motor (some people make the mistake of of just leak testing some of the system) [/QUOTE]
