So I got a boost leak somewhere and my mechanic is getting tired of my car sitting at his shop. Any common boost leaks happen. I am thinking about just going through and replaceing most of the hoses if there badly damaged.

 

Do you have $15?

 

hes a pos mechanic if he cant find the leak
you need a compressor for that tool

 

Nah, just super busy. Guys has a three week waiting list but I ran mine over earlier this week. I like the leek tester.

Yeah what's your point?
Most gas stations offer free air if you don't have a compressor, or access to one.
You may need a different fitting if you go the gas station route, but nonetheless it can be done.

 

go to autozone and pick up some wheel stems for $3. that way you can use a bicycle pump if you want, lol.

 

Here is the pressure tester I made. Its a PVC reducer with a end cap. I drilled / Tapped the end and then I got an air compressor gauge / on/off valve setup from lowes for like 4 bucks. This doesnt give me a TON of flexibility for testing at specific PSI, but its close enough.
