Sorry but your not making sense... most guys don't know if they have leaks.. thats why they all assume all is fine... 1.2 bar doesnt mean anything... a turbo will try to match the requested boost by working harder... even with the boost leak...

Mark , When are you coming over to London. I should be going down to Kens end of the month, probably the 31st and staying down there for a few days whiles the car is put through its paces. It would be nice to meet up with you as
well. put a Face to a name. lol.

As to the leak test do you sell the full kit. Its been something I have been meaning to make for a while, but if you sell them might as well have one of yours.
cheers,
Frank.

the engine is set so that all the valves will never be fully sealed...

it would be very helpful if you post a video showing how slowly a non-boost leak car pressure gauge should go down once you pump it up to 20 or 25 psi?
