I'm currently chasing a epic boost leak that's winding me up.
So far I've change D seal turbo to top mount pipe the top mount cooler all new jubilee clips but still have a boost leak I've now jubileed the t piece on the boost compensator and no better it seems to start at about 10psi and starts screeching at 14. Anyone know where this leak could be I had this at fcs.
Started after a head change. Could it be inlet bolts loose? Turbo is untouched at present so surely not leaking from the unit its self?
Here's a stupid question to would it leak from the rocker as I've noticed there is a washer missing from one of the three bolts but didn't think there would be much pressure in there
Hope someone can help

Wouldn't leak from the rocker
And from what you say the inlet is the last thing it can be so yeah one must be loose
Shine a light down the back around the ports and you can usually tell if you have a leak

As said your manifold must be blowing, did you use a new gasket? Did you put ALL the bolts back in?

Everything else checked yeah Ida screw? Not so sure
Darren it was a new gasket but was a gasket paper kit for xud9 t.
Would you suggest taking it off and doing it again?
Cheers guys for the advice
