turbo-ghia troubleshooting part 1

 Today was a great day, even i didn't get to the great final. i had to test the "Turbo Boost Leak tester" set... to pressurize the compressor side...BUT i couldn't get any pressure to the cold side of the turbo. none. i thought that the new leak tester is broken. but no. so now i have to test the system in smaller parts, like plug the intercooler, and test the tubes before that. or maybe just plug the tube where the BOW is located... 

have to go back tomorrow, if there's no wind and a bit warmer, as it was cold today. and i have to locate different size plugs for this... but maybe there's a reason that this black ghia doesn't have many horses...


the starting point. 1. remove the air cleaner...


2. plug the intake of the turbo...
and put some compressed air...


(there's the kit to test...)


3. dismantle the cold side tubing somewhere, 
and put a plug somewhere... and NOTHING!
there's a massive leak somewhere... DAMN!

to be continued!
