What is simple check for air leak?
When I drive with window open I hear "pshhh" noise from the back. I did not have 997T long enough and wonder if that is a boost leak I hear.
Yesterday I accelerated in 4th gear to see if I could read 1.2 bars of boost but the road was too short (and the speed limit was too low) and I could only see 0.6 shortly. If I were to have a small leak on one side, would I ever see 0.6 bar pressure?
How would I easily test for a leak? Would something like accelerating in 5th/6th gear from say 30mph to 70/80mph, pedal to the metal, induce 1.2 bars of pressure?
Plugs have been changed 3k miles ago.
2 months ago the car showed 573hp on the dyno (it has exhaust and Sportec software).
