Boost leak question

Posted

So I did a boost leak test on my 99 cummins found a t clamp that needed to be tighted. Took the tester to 25 psi. The gauge is slowly going down like .5psi every couple second. Did the soapy water test can't find anything. Can't hear anything. Is this normal to loose psi with it pressured up or should it stay at 25psi.

    The return is bleeding pressure off to the tank. Decrease that flow and more goes into the supply. That equals great supply pressure.

    I must say, boost leaks are sneaky little devils. Here is 1 on a CR.

    The tunnel ram is on it's way to see Crazy Carl.

    @notlimah Why don't you create an article about the spring shim and adjustments?

     

    I guess I should... I just wish I had more time to be in front of the computer to get things done.  Send me a reminder PM...

    Like it says above, tunnel ram leaking. This is at the  #1 cylinder at the front under the injector.

    The tunnel ram was replaced at no charge. Crazy Carl & company are very standup people. Came with all gaskets & bolts.
