pressurize to find leaks - hookliftpete - 08-14-2019
Maybe an ignorant question, but to put pressure on the entire engine, intake, cac, turbo, etc, wouldn't the exhaust need to be plugged as well? In another thread, it was only mentioned that the intake and doser pipe (don't have one on mine) need to be plugged to put pressure on the whole plant.
Thanks!
Planning to get one of these asap https://amzn.to/2KR7lPM
as suggested by the man himself.

Yeah I would say so, otherwise the air is going out the exhaust valves that are open and through the exhaust side of the turbo and out the exhaust pipe.

the intake blocks it at the inlet of the engine, and the doser pipe is past the turbo, so it will block all pressure to the exhaust. If you do not have a doser pipe, then it would be the back side of the turbo where there normally would be one.
