the invisible boost leak
Ok so i did a pressure test on my car today with garrett, and i found 2 leaks. One on my gangsta ass MBC(which i fixed). and another is coming from what sounds like the drivers side near the master cylinder area. From outside the car, its audible but not too bad, from inside the car its loud as hell at anything above 6psi. We didnt bring it up past 12psi at most and it was very loud. The odd thing is, we couldn't find it, from inside or outside, we couldnt feel the leak coming from anything. Has anybody else had this leak? Where should I look?

clutch booster. check to make sure the check valve is where its supposed to be and the line is on the right way.

Unfix your MBC. It NEEDS that hole to vent pressure in order to work properly.

Re: the invisible boost leak
? the only problem with my MBC was I had like 3 hoses cause i didnt have 1 that was long enough. The connections between them werent tight so i just made one long one that fits fine. MBC is fine, I just need a check valve. I knew it was the problem.

I don't think he was talking about the little hole on the MBC, I think he's saying one of the lines had a leak.
