boost Leak checker tool

I ended up with enough material to build another boost leak checker for a 82mm TB, Its nothing overly complicated, It a cap with a rubber sleeve that clamps to the TB it has a 0-15 Gauge and a metal tire valve steam. you add compressed air to the cap and if theres a leak you will here clearly hear it and see a the Gauge fall rapidly. It will come with a T bolt clamp, All you will need to do is plug the lines to the valve covers. It will check everything from the TB to Sc flange to the head.
55.00 plus shipping

Bump for an awesome tool! We were able to find a boost leak in no time with his gadget. Unfortunately Sneakyneon left it at my house and I haven't been able to ship it back to him....lol.

What an awesome guy to leave a demo for you to use Alan

It definitely lets you know what surge tank bolts you forgot to tighten down, or the clamps on the Y pipe haha!

Awesome tool! Easy to use and very helpful! Nice you need to make a couple I'm sure a few will want one.

This tool made finding the boost leak so simple. We had everything together and forgot to tighten down the distribution tubes, but since we used sneaky's tool we found the leak within minutes without starting the car..... Maybe we could talk sneaky into making a few extra to help others on the board.
