Get your boost back!  

This high quality boost leak tester is designed to perform a boost leak test for your supercharged charged engine with the engine off and not running.  

PULL HARDER , IMPROVE MPG & KEEP YOUR MOTOR HEALTHY --BY ELIMINATING BOOST LEAKS!
This simple tester will save you time and money by boost leak testing yourself and making sure there are no unexpected boost issues when it counts, whether you are daily driving, roll racing, at the track or out of town.   No one wants to deal with unexpected boost issues!
Test your Vortech Supercharged motor for leaks the correct way and keep the motor running healthy and boost with confidence!
Pressurizing the system for leaks will allow you to run peak boost your pulley is designed for and ensure you are putting all the power down efficiently and reliably.
It is good practice to boost leak test any time there is a noticeable loss in target pressure, any time charge pipes are removed, especially with setups that have a front mount intercooler. There are countless ways for leaks to be introduced and you definitely want to make sure you have a sealed charge pipe system. A leak will cause a loss of power and throws the tuning off. The fuel injected now isn't being used due to the loss of air so the motor will run rich and the computer will constantly be adjusting to keep up with the changing amount of air.
If you have just installed a new supercharger system on your motor its a good idea to ensure the system is boost leak free to know what the real power output of the system!

This is an important tool that every turbo car owner needs in their arsenal of tools!

Common Leak points:
  • any clamped connection at the turbo outlet, charge pipe clamped connections
  • intake manifold connections
  • bov / pressure release valve
  • injector o-ring seals, gasket surfaces
  • *any time the charge pipe system is serviced

How do I know if I have a Boost Leak??

Typically the boost target will be lower than what is expected by the tune
Laggy performance
Smell of fuel
fuel in exhaust

Simple Steps to Use the Boost Leak Tester:

  1. With engine off, remove intake off supercharger inlet
  2. Remove oil cap to vent any excess crankcase pressure from the boost leak test.
  3. Install boost leak tester and clamp down
  4. Regulate compressor and pressurize with 5 PSI to start.  Boost gauge will show the actual pressure in the system.
  5. Listen for leaks.  Use soapy spray water to identify small leaks that are not audible.
  6. Retest to 10 PSI and move up in every 5 increments up to 20 PSI
  7. Tip: When stopping or removing the air source, watch the boost gauge on the tester to see how fast or slow it bleeds.   A good system will hold pressure and leak at a rate of 1 PSI/second. That is normal since some air will pass into the cylinder and past the piston rings and into the crankcase.
