After finding a leak in my intercooler i took it off the car and did a further test to pin point were the leak was. I found about 10 to 15 leaks up and down were the intercooler weld to the end tanks. With the intercooler only having about 300 miles on it im not very happy. With the intercooler off i did a test from the piping to the tb and found a leak were the intercooler piping meets the tb. Fixed that leak but when i pressurize the system my boost gauge still loses pressure but i can't seem to hear the leak? hopfully these leaks are what was causing my car to idle rough and hesitate while driving. My ? is an intercooler pressure test shoould be 100% leak free right. I know it's a stupid ? but i can't beleive so many leaks on a new intercooler.

 

Yeah thats kinda ridiculous..... but as far as the pressure check.. don't quote me on this because i've never done one, but usually when you buy one they always talk about a pressure drop of some odd PSI... so i'm not sure if that would mess up your readings or not... or give you a reading of less than 100 % .. I just thought it would be worth a shot

 

No thats with the boost level.

Where did you get that core?

 

road race motorsports.

 

when i have no leaks my gauge should stay rock solid right.

 

yes sir.

I would call them and tell them that there is multiple leaks on their intercooler.

 

Thats ridiculous. I would be PISSED!

 

yea i emailed them and they haven't returned my message yet when usually there very good about it, if they don't reply by tommorrow im going to have to call them.

 

thats horrible. I would definetly get a new one for free out of them

 

there not returning my calls or emails/if they stand by there products they should do whats right,but i don't think thats going to happen i just need to fix it somehow or find a temp solution to see if that is what was causing my problems.
