    OK ha ha I thought so

    You need something like this, cram it in the intake bubble and pressure test.

    Remove Mas, put in heavy duty trash bag, put mas back on and clamp. Then use one of the plenum fitting and compressor.

    I, personally, haven't used that method... but it has been discussed several times elsewhere. Some people swear by it.

    Just start it with the pre-turbo pipes off and see if the turbos are spinning?

    Can't say I've ever personally seen a turbo shaft snap, stranger things have happened though I guess. Sounds like a leak.

    Well. I thought I had it figured out.

    I checked out the turbos. Camera in the exhaust side spin intake side, exhaust side spins fine. So I know they can spin.

    I got everything back together and did a full system boost leak test. Intake mani was leaking first. Fixed that. Re tested. My gauge was reading 15 lbs. With no leaks.

    Thought I fixed it.


    Took it for a drive. No difference.
