Ok so I've been boost leak checking all morning. I could not find the small leak but after using some soapy water it appears the adjustment nut on my APS is leaking. I put some silicone around the threads (didn't let it dry) and it still leaks.


pic is a bit blurry but you get the idea...



Any suggestions/comments?

 

thats weird, aps is a very good high boost bov... just out of curiousity how did you do a boost leak test, i may want to

maybe put some loctite in it?

 

Yeah that's my next try but what if i need to adjust it :P

 

I wouldn't use locktite. Try some teflon tape or there's a white liquid thread sealant that should do the job.

 

I had this same problem in my wrx with an aps bov and i just wrapped some teflon tape around it and it worked fine.

 

I picked up some this morning ^^

 

nice

 

Worked like a charm!

Now I've got to fix my boost leak testing device... it blows out of the coupler at ~20psi... BOOOM
