leaking turbo?

[letemlaf]

what is the simplest way to tell if your turbo bov is leaking?

does it only matter if you leak on boost?

what is so bad about your bov leaking?

[Doctor]

Check the boost pressure from before the intercooler and then from the manifold. This will indicate if there is a leak in the lines.

Yes it matters if it leaks on boost as your turbo will be working harder to get the psi you desire at the manifold.

Another easy way to check it is to blank off you BOV and see what you boost gets up to. If you pressure is lower when your BOV is refitted then it is leaking by the difference in pressures.

And as Doc said, it will be working your turbo more than needed and creating more heat.
