boost leak

I only got 1800miles on my 05 and i think there is a boost leak, this is my first turbo car so im just guessing. when im accelerating it seems like its skipping 3k-4k and the boost comes back on at 5k. Is that a boost leak? i gotta go into the dealer tomorrow and im F'N pissed

A boost leak tester's easy to make and use - use the Search button if nobody steps up.

Good luck.

if it comes back in full......i dont think its a boost leak. if it were really leaking, you would lose boost and wont recover.

100% sure it's your clutch. Having experienced both a boost leak and slipping clutch ( not at the same time thank god ) it's def. a clutch. WHy?


Boost leak is like this : mash the gas boost hits while mashed the boost drops like taper but only faster and never to return till the next shift.


slipping clutch is like this : mash the gas hit full boost RPM goes thru the roof while your not going any faster, then when the clutch finally grabs it catches at the RPM it was supposed to be at.


both ****ing suck
