    Help Running Boost Leak Test

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I made the device out of pvc pipes and followed the intructions on a4mods.com
    Here's the link to the site: http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...boostleak.html

    Here's where I'm stuck, on the website it says to:
    "IMPORTANT: In order to perform the pressure test, it is very important that you disconnect the PCV return hose from the TIP. This WAS NOT written in the writeup I was following.....

    what happens is that after the system is pressurized, oil comes back down the pcv pipe into the TIP...and hence the turbo....you will end up with blue smoke in your exhaust.....in order to stop this you have to disconnect the check valve for the PCV return line and plug the hole

    I used a rubber wine bottle cork and a hose clamp to plug the hole "


    However, the air intake duct does not look like the b6's in the picture. So the question is do I have to take out any plugs or plug the PCV return hose(don't know where it is), or I can just pressureized the system after taking out the air intake duct?

    I'm not mechanically inclined , just trying to learn along the way and want to avoid getting charged an arm to run a simple test.

    When I had my car checked for leaks they did not disconnect the pcv valve.
