Testing for boost leaks

Bmwdoubles_ · 04-08-2020, 09:59 PM

I found my leaks and back on track for a 22+ PSI tune. Also check out where i found the leak!

Maybe this will helpful to some since I couldn't find specifics on our motors on YouTube on how to do this.

One thing to note is I could only raise the pressure to 14 PSI because t bolt clamps suck. I'm going to get worm clamps and pressurize my system to 25psi

A bunch of plumbers tape around the tap-screw worked.

Might want to normalize the audio on your videos. The intro was loud as hell but then the actual video was mad quiet.

I noticed that too. I'm a noob vlogger. I think I know how to fix it without replacing the video though. Thanks for the feedback

WOW that is the lamest leak ever... maybe you shouldn't use 3" screws to mount your bracket?

Lol i like placing 6" wood screws in my manifold. Seriously though, I'll be replacing the manifold.

I'm having a similar issue. Boost maxes out at 14psi. Will be performing a boost leak test when my kit arrives next week. Interested to see if we are having the same issue, or if i just did a crappy job installing my FMIC. Great video by the way.
