Smoke Leak tester. Lots of them out there with built in pumps. If you own a turbo car, you should own one. |
Depending on where this leak, it can be an inconvenience or can possibly really hurt the engine. If you have a leak to the boost source that supplies the turbocharger wastegates, you can overboost. If you overboost enough, its very likely that you get preignition or knock, and hurt the engine.
In this case I was checking out the boost control on this car. Seeing if I noticed any leaks. This particular tester also puts pressure to the system, along with smoke. Its like the smoke you see at a concert, or for Halloween , fog.
