DIY Boost Leak Test on the Jeep XJ Diesel

1 year ago

In this video I build a DIY Boost Leak Tester for the Jeep XJ Diesel to check for boost leaks. I thought I would make a video since I need to do this myself. Its a pretty simple job to check for boost leaks but fixing them can be a lot of work depending on where the leak is located.
I use a hockey puck and a valve to make an adapter to fit the XJ and then charge the system with air. Make sure you use a load of soap in the water so that the bubbles are more visible.
In my case I had two leaks on my engine, one at the turbo housing and unfortunately another at the manifold gasket.
