supra_ufo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Morning guys, I have another boost issue again and its not in the usual place, without taking off every single hose to check it I am planning on using a Halfords tyre pump off the cig lighter, sticking a valve on the end of a blocked silicone hose and putting up the pressure. (inspired by youtube) My question is where on the engine bay is the most effective place to fit this? What needs blocking off etc? I currently have a aftermarket induction kit and a FMIC on the stock twins, very similar to the below picture. I have the stock BOV fitted on mine. Please help Edited July 3, 2015 by supra_ufo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 How does this Bike Valve DIY thing work. And may just start doing it then block all the holes on pipework that leak air ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 This is pretty much how it will look like Matt... the other end goes into your intake but because the TT engine has VSVs and aload of other things I am a bit unsure if this is the correct way to do it, I dont want to pressurise something that may explode.

supra_ufo Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Would this be a sufficient test? To insert my boost leak tool into the air intake and to block off at the other end of the FMIC pipe work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 No mate, you can only test the Intercooler pipework. You need to remove the hose from the turbo to Intercooler, and block that, then remove the hose from Intercooler to throttle body, and block that. Then test this pipework. If you apply pressure to the intake pipe, you'll blow all your air through the turbo, and out the exhaust. If you try to pressurise the engine, you'll have valves open, which will blow your pressure through the exhaust manifold, and out of the exhaust.
