Message: [QUOTE="V-Ref, post: 73641, member: 660"] $3.50 to 5.50 depending on size if I recall correctly. I didn't set out looking for them...Clampco is what Jake sent in my turbo mount kit, and what the local rubber supply store had in stock.... I don't know why either....I'm just not at that level yet I guess. I'm real hesitant to latch on to advice on these forums, until I'm sure it's vetted from actual experience anymore. I wonder what single turbo setup is pushing 60+ psi.....I've searched youtube/forums...hard to find a vid of a single pushing 50 psi, let alone 60:lookaround: Yep, I sure did. Turbo picked up some responsiveness as well. I found the weak link to testing the intake side of our turbo systems was a cap/plug that will stay on the compressor housing of the turbo. My shinanagin rigged boost leak tester won't win any appearance points....but it did allow me to test my system for leaks above the commonly recommended 10-15 psi level though. IMHO, this is the recommended max boost testing level, because that's about all a double clamped boost leak detector can grip on the compressor intake housing IME....hence the common thought/recommendation to not test beyond that. I agree. I've even gone so far, as to ask Jake if he'd be up for putting a schrader valve on the intake Y....then a fella could cap off the intake on the compressor housing...and use a buddy/mirror watching the boost gauge....built in leak tester. Just need to build a cap for the compressor intake... The compound fellas have this all figured out already I imagine...given those boost levels...I'm ASSuming, you'd have to check for leaks at higher than the commonly recommended 10-15 psi levels. :popcorn: [/QUOTE]
