Looking to buy an ETS 3.5 inch front mount this weekend but want to make sure it is legit. Searched but could not find a procedure, can I just cap one end and induce pressure to the other like a boost leak test? Is there a better way? Any info or advice would be great, thanks guys.

 

That is the only way.

 

Thank you sir, so just induce 30psi and spray soapy water and listen for leaks?

 

Yes but I would try to incorporate a pressure gauge. This way you can see if its holding boost or how quickly its leaking if it is.

 

Can I induce pressure on one side and use a compression gauge on the other?

 

Yes it really doesnt matter which side the gauge is on.

 

If it has a leak you will hear it You can run your hand over the core as well and feel for air leaks. Soapy water also works

Thanks!
