Boost leak testers

Been getting swamped with calls about these. Making a run of 10 to hold me thru. If your running a tune and boosting more then 1.2 bar I strongly suggest you do a pressure test as these car have more leaks then most can imagine. Often the fpr vacuum line Popps off and car runs dangerously lean. Tuners should always instinct the clients to do this test. Log the car of its coming on leans and staying at .87 plus lambda at peak tq your probably running into this case. I see it on 5 out of 10 997.1TT I see.

You Connect them to the lower boost hoses after the turbo to the ic. Very simple.

That's sexy for $99. All turbocharged car owners should have one.

Edit: I looked on their website and they show out of stock online. Any pro tips on how to find them in the US?

Got any pics? The 997 uses those funky connectors with an o-ring instead of just a silicone hose connector, not sure how you seal these up?

Here are some additional pics from one of my DIY PDF's. Mine are not as nice as the ones above as I cannot weld Just made of plastic/PVC....Just FYI

This was just testing the Inter-coolers before install. What is discussed here is similar process, only placing the devices on each side of the system to check for leaks throughout. I chose to put a gauge on one cap so I could set pressure as desired...using an air compressor as shown.

$99 is like $8 US. haha.

There's 4 or 5 of these sitting on the shelf a block from my office. It's an awesome deal. Regulator, quick connects, valve, hose and 12 different sized flanges for each end. Not sure how someone could make anything else for less $.

if the kit has the right OD and you need 2 then thats a good deal... but you need 2 of them... and then need limps on them so they dont pop out... those seem like they dont have it...
