About This

• 6 Pairs of Adapters: Unlike standard single adapters, each pair of adapters in this turbocharger test kit includes a quick-connect intake adapter and a fully sealed plug for sealing the end of the tubing. Together, they form a completely airtight closed loop, allowing you to set up a sealed test circuit without the need for additional temporary plugs. This effectively prevents false positive leak alerts caused by inadequate temporary seals, significantly improving test accuracy and efficiency.
• Upgraded Stepped Adapter: The stepped design of each adapter allows it to accommodate two different pipe diameters, expanding the range of applications while reducing the quantity. Just 6 pairs adapters can fit 12 different pipe sizes, which are: 46mm, 51mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm. The adapters are made of high-quality hard nylon and metal composite material to ensure firm installation and reliable sealing during testing.
• Wide Application: With 1 4/5" to 4" sizes adapters and 0–6 bar gauges, this kit is widely compatible with most turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines. It is suitable for turbocharger intake ports, exhaust ports, intercooler connections, and intake hoses on passenger cars, pickup trucks, light commercial vehicles, small construction machinery, and small-to-medium-sized vessels, covers the vast majority of 3, 4, 6, 8-cylinder turbocharged engines with displacement ranges from 1.0T to 3.0T.
• Pressure Leak Testing: Simple to operate and requires no specialized skills. First, ensure the engine is cool. Use suitable adapters to seal the intake and exhaust ports, creating a completely airtight closed loop, then connect the leak detector to the air compressor. Slowly inflate to the preset pressure and maintain that pressure while observing the gauge reading. A clear pressure gauge provides real-time pressure readings, helping you visually identify leaks during the pressure test.
• Pressure Settings: Proper pressure settings help protect OEM components. 0–6 bar fully covers the standard boost pressures for OEM turbocharged engines. During testing, strictly follow the vehicle manual, the machine’s nameplate, or use OBD to read the OEM peak boost pressure; under no circumstances should the OEM maximum boost pressure be exceeded. Generally, the maximum factory boost pressure varies for gasoline and diesel turbocharged engines depending on engine displacement.
• Accurately Locate the Leak: After pressurizing the turbocharger system with an external air compressor, spray soapy water onto the pipe joints and observe the bubbles to locate the leak. Alternatively, use an external smoke generator to inject pressurized smoke into the sealed system to quickly locate microscopic cracks and hidden leaks that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. The entire testing process is simple and intuitive, greatly improving inspection efficiency.
• A Professional Tool for Comprehensive Testing of Turbocharger System: Detect leaks in the turbocharger exhaust pipe, intercooler, rubber hose, clamp, connecting flange, bypass valve, pressure sensor connector, and the intake manifold. Effectively identifies common issues caused by air leaks, including sluggish acceleration, lack of power, increased fuel consumption, and rough engine operation. Simulates actual operating pressures in the turbocharger system to enable precise leak detection.
• Pressure Regulation and Overpressure Protection: The turbo leak tester is equipped with a built-in pressure regulator and a relief valve. To adjust the pressure, simply pull up and rotate the pressure adjustment knob to set the input pressure; press down to lock it in place. When the system pressure exceeds the safety threshold (typically 2.5bar), the relief valve will automatically relieve the pressure (After completing the leak test, manually pull the pressure relief valve to release pressure)
