boost leak tester

Do you think this would work for an FD? Is there something like this for cheaper (and I don't mean ghetto-style) that would work better?

come on people ... getting replies is like pulling teeth

Would this help eliminate the need to replace all your vacuum lines when looking for boost leaks, and hone in on the ones that are the culprits?

All that thing is is an air pressure regulator for an air compressor plumbed into the intake. Save your money.

PS You will get a lot further by not slamming people when you don't get what you want. The old "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything rule". Good luck with your leaks.

Hmmm. There aren't that many places for boost escape that you can't check visually are there?

How was I slamming anyone? I was posting something instead of another "ttt". I have no boost leaks ... I am inquiring for my friend. I do not have a car that has 60 million vacuum lines that are POS.

sometimes it is hard to see boost escaping when the engine is not boosting and when the engine is boosting, it is hard to see inside the engine compartment to check each hose/intercooler connection/vacuum line
