Turbo Again

Post by John&Sene Johansson » Thu Jul 10, 2003 6:24 pm

Hi There
Now is the Turbo in the car, but now I have another question.
How can I Check that it is no leak in the Hose connectors between the pipes?
I do not really trust these slippery silicon hoses.
How does the car Run, maybe you asking.
Well after the first testrun I could only say " *oly *kit" and that was only
6psi.

hi John

Welcome to the "Darkside" :D - glad to hear your
project is up and running!

I hear that waving some (cigarette) lighter gas around
the joins is a good way to find leaks... the gas is
sucked in and causes the engine to run faster.

If you have a vacuum gauge, leaks will cause it to read low at idle. Normal
reading is 19 - 20 in/mg.
