Re: Getting Started
one thing to do also is install a boost gauge then boost leak test.
buy a bag of zip ties and ziptie all you vacume lines
go to home depo or lowes and buy a 2" plumming cap, get a valve stem from autozone and put it in the center of the cap, remove the intake and place on the turbo inlet and fill the system with air. take a bottle of soap and water and spray on various vac lines and look for air bubbles.
a few places that will leak air is the factory PCV valve, go to the junk yard and pull a brake booster off a honda or nissan, or go to bwoodypreformance.com and buy one from the SRT-4, insert it on the vacume line between the intake manifold and PCV valve.
another common place you will see a leak is a vacume line on the turbo to airbox (TTAB) pipe, remove that line and cap both ends.
