Description:
Boost leaks big and small can rob your engine of power, spike EGT's and effect the overall performance of your diesel truck.
Even the most skilled installers can create a boost leak somewhere in the system. This detector fits on the inlet of the turbo. You will use your current clamp for your air intake to connect this detector to the turbo. Pressurize the system all the way on the gauge with an air compressor, and then close the fill valve. The needle should take about 45 seconds to drop down to zero. If it goes faster, you might have a leak. Often times the boost leak will make a loud squeal and then you will have to chase it down with your ear. Putting soap and water in a spray bottle can help you find slow boost leaks. Just spray the solution on boots, intake manifold gaskets and any other connection point to visualize the air leaking.

only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the nipple they install is straight and directly in front of where you need to put this on the turbo is the fuel filter…I had no way of hooking up my air compressor hose after it was installed on the turbo without removing the fuel filter. I ended up purchasing a 90 degree to install instead so the compressor hose could be hooked up. It’s relatively minor but I cant be the only one with that issue…you think they’d alter the design to put a 90 on it from the start. Otherwise it was well built and worked exactly as needed.
If you're doing your own repairs and mods, this is an essential tool for the box. Yes, you can build your own and probably for less. But not including your time. I thought my last repair was tight and it led me down a rabbit hole. I thought it was a blown bellow on the up-pipe. Glad i bought this first. Ended up being a blown EGR valve gasket. When i hit 7# of boost it would squeal just like a blown bellow. This tool saved me lots of time and money.
This is an amazing tool to have, works flawlessly and is made of top quality materials. Worth every oenny, do chade boost issues without this tool. The KC Turbo family is absolutely fantastic great people, great products and you can totally trust them with your pride and joy vehicle
Made an impossible find, a 15-minute find, and repair, thank you
