One of the main reasons why turbocharged vehicles start losing their performance and power is due to leakage. Since many components make up the turbocharger, it is understandable that different parts receive damage. It can be a small perforation, a loose connection, and so on. But the damage this leak can cause to the performance is quite apparent and detrimental to your experience. Furthermore, figuring out where the leak is coming from is also difficult.

APR has given a great solution for this problem- the APR Leakdown Tester Adapters and Components. This kit helps you locate the leakage, allowing you to take the necessary action to fix them. It uses the principle of compressed air to detect the leak.

The method of operating the kit is quite simple. First, you connect your adapter to the application-specific connection point (normally found in the turbocharger). Then, you have to attach the pressure regulator hose to the adapter. After making sure that the regulator is turned all the way down, provide a continuous airflow to the system. You have to regulate your pressure to bring it to the pressure kept under usual operating circumstances.

By doing this, you will easily discover where the leakage is coming. And if not, you can apply soapy water to the connections as a last resort.
