Anyone have an intake tool to check for leaks? (Homemade is great as well) or a portable compressor? Thanks! Jason
Well heres the solution! Gonna make one up here soon in a few anyone interested in testing? Any portable compressor owners? Quote: ------------------------------------------------------------------ MAF value will drop when the turbo inlet collapses. Do you have a compressor? If you do, got to home depot and buy a PVC 2 inch elbow. Buy a 2 inch cap for it. Buy a compressor fitting 3/8 if that's what your comressor couples to. Make sure it has threads on the other end. Use a hammer and tap the PVC plug into one end of the PVC elbow. Drill a hole using a bit slightly smaller than a half inch in the middle of the plug. Screw in the compressor fitting. Remove the piping from the Perrin turbo inlet. Put in the elbow and tighten the clamp. Set the regulator on your compressor all the way to "-" so that it doesn't pump any air. Attach the compressor hose to the compressor fitting in the elbow you just made. Gradually add psi to the compressor regulator to get it to 15 psi or so. You will hear a squeal from the leak. You will hear a buzzing from the evaporator diaphram. Fix the leak, tighten the hose, reseat the hose on the bung, do whatever it takes.
Im pretty sure you can use propane to test it, are you talking about an intake manifold leak?? If so, if you run the car and then spray propane in the general area that you may have a leak, if there is a leak then you should hear the idle raise and youve found the problem. and you also wont have to drill any holes. Hope this helps!
