Hi all. So today i decided to run a boost leak test on suspecion my boost pipes maybe leaking as some a joined together. To my absolute amazement they held 43 psi! 3 bar of pressure without weeping a drop!! But what i did notice was the back if the turbo compressor housing was leaking air. Granted it was well over the boost pressure it will ever see see but still should it be a cause of concern? The engine was of course not running at the time but would it make a difference if it was actually being driven with the turbo constantly supplying air to the pipes. It was tested hot and cold and made no differance to it. Oil does not leak past the seals on the turbo either.
