Thread: How To Make a Boost Leak Tester

This is a very simple tool that can be proven very useful for finding boost leaks.

Parts Needed:
Tire Valve Stem
PVC End Cap



Drill a hole in the center big enough to fit the Tire valve stem



Find a Silicon coupler that would fit and something to tighten it with. I used wormclamps but I suggest T-bolt styled clamps anything any testing 10 PSI.


Mount it on the turbo, connect an air source to it and listen!

Quick question, is turbo inlet size on a T25 2.5"? If so, the only size caps Pvc couplers I see in the home improvement stores are 3" and 2". I have a coupler on it but I don't think they make a 2.5" cap

Thanks vadim.

T25 is 2.25 actually. That's 2" ID and 2.25" OD for PVC pipe.

Well that Still runs Me In To The same issue, I checked the plumbing section at Lowes and Home Depot, 2" and 3" caps, to small and to large

Those measurements are ID, these are end caps, thus they slip over the 2" OD PVC pipe. Take a ruler with you, or a 2.25" coupler and measure it in the store.
