Does anyone have a boost guage I could use/borrow to test for a boost leak?

235Dude · 11-08-2010, 12:31 PM

My car isn't running as quick as I think it should be. I am suspecting there could be a boost leak issue? Any other ideas on what could be robbing it of power? (The dealer did just update my software recently - without even asking

)

If anyone local has a gauge they would be willing to let me hook up please let me know (I'm thinking something like the BMS gauge which is a quick install). I would just need to use it once to see if my car is leaking boost or this is all in my head. If you can help me out I will give you some cash.

Thanks,

Karl

+100

One thing I was just thinking about is I can hear the DVs very loudly. Would that rule out a boost leak?
