Hey, guys. My first post here. I was hoping I could get help with something. I believe I have a boost leak. I'm not 100% sure but that's what it feels like. I'll hit the throttle and I can hear the turbo spool but I don't really go anywhere. If i were to have to check for a boost leak, how would I go about doing so? I'm no mechanic but I know my car has problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

2005 Evo Viii, Evo ix turbo, (****ty) aftermarket intake, 3" straight pipe exhaust, stage 3 comp. clutch.

 

You can search the forum or check youtube for many posts on this subject.
I've found leaks by just looking around and listening, i use a rubber pipe to my ear or spraying soapy water around the piping can work, I've also made a cap and valve and plugged the IC pipe and blown compressed air in then used soapy water. I've also built a smoke machine let it into the intake while operating. Be careful with smoke as you can blow yourself up pending how you burn the rag lol

 

Get your self a boost leak tester or make one and use an air compressor. Spray soapy water around areas that can leak. Theres plenty of "how to" out there.
