[s-cars] how to pressure test for boost leaks?

[James Shackelford]

Chris,

You only want to pressurize the intake system to see if anything is leaking.
Disconnect the intake hose from the IM and plug it.  There is the other Y
that needs to be plugged also.  Then pressure test like before.

S car gurus

I went to use my new fangled pressure tester as I have read, and can't
pressurize teh entire system because air is coming out a breather on
the back of the valve cover.

Now I'm guessing this doesn't need to be pressure tested. After doing
more research I have discovered there are different schools of thought
on how to pressure test.

Not having read anything recently on the authority (the S car list) I
am asking my fellow S car gurus how they do it.


Thanks
Chris


Here is a pic of my pressure tester.
