Alright, ill try and do a boost leak test later today.

How would you go about doing a leak test on the intake side, after the throttle body? Ive read that you can use starter fluid to spray around where you think it may be leaking, but i don't see that working if the leak is somewhere that cant exactly be sprayed.


Also, i saw a video with Eric the car guy about exhaust leaks and his method of finding one is putting a rag on the tip of the exhaust and finding the leak by listening for an apparent leak or seeing smoke from it. Would this method show me if i have a small leak at either the head/manifold ir the turbo/manifold...?


Is this ok practice? Or should i not stuff my exhaust to find a leak? lol
