Wouldn't even hold 5psi and the plastic end cap blow apart. Don't waste your money.

Brought this to solve a boost issue on my buddies Evo X. Worked flawlessly but it did needed some extra parts that it did not come with. I had to order an extra quick disconnect that goes on to the hose of the regulator. Make sure to put some teflon tape on it because it will leak. Ask me how I know. Either than that the build quality is nice and does not feel cheap. For $40 it’s not bad at all

As a mechanic who's dealt with my fair share of turbocharged headaches, I was eager to try the LainKeen Turbo System Leakage Tester Set. Here's my breakdown after putting it through its paces:Pros:Comprehensive Kit: Four pairs of stepped adapters (covering 1-3/8" to 3-1/2" inlets) cater to a wide range of turbochargers. No more scrambling for the right size!Easy to Use: Setting up and using the tester is straightforward, even for DIYers. The pressure gauge with regulator and shut-off valve makes precise control a breeze.Leak Detection Made Simple: The pressure drop over time pinpoints leaks efficiently. You can even use soapy water or leak detection spray for visual confirmation.Saves Time and Money: Identifying and fixing boost leaks early on prevents costly turbocharger damage and improves engine performance. This tester pays for itself quickly.Durable Build: The kit feels sturdy and well-made, withstanding the demands of a busy garage.Cons:Limited Instructions: The included instructions could be more detailed, especially for beginners. Online resources offer helpful tutorials, but clearer documentation would be appreciated.Gauge Accuracy: While the gauge seems reliable, a calibration certificate would add a layer of confidence for professional use.Storage Solution: A dedicated carrying case or storage bag would be helpful for keeping all the components organized and protected.Overall:The LainKeen Turbo System Leakage Tester Set is a valuable tool for any mechanic or serious DIYer tackling turbocharged vehicles. Its ease of use, comprehensive fitment, and effectiveness in pinpointing leaks make it a worthwhile investment. With a few improvements to the documentation and storage, it could be a near-perfect solution for diagnosing boost leaks.Recommendation:I highly recommend the LainKeen Turbo System Leakage Tester Set to anyone who works on turbocharged engines. It's a time-saving and cost-effective solution for identifying and fixing boost leaks, keeping your turbos spinning smoothly. Just be sure to check out online resources for more detailed instructions, and consider adding a storage solution for optimal convenience.

Used to test for boost leaks. Works great

We have a Consulier GTP ... 65 were made in Florida as IMSA race cars... this one is street legal and we DRIVE it on an 8,000 mile road trip every year.... with no top.... The turbocharged engine started over boosting which is dangerous when you're already running 24 psi of boost. We spent hours looking for a vacuum hose leak, or a leak in one of the intercoooler hoses... couldn't find anything. Using the turbo leakage tester... we found it in maybe 20 minutes. We put on adapter in the tube running to the intercooler and applied about 10 pounds of pressure. We found the lower intercooler hose had a small hole that enlarged under pressure... running the air pressure up to 20 psi and then we could really feel the air coming out. This leakage tester worked great... it would've saved us HOURS if we'd bought it sooner. As a side note.... we also used this to pressurize a different turbo car that was having issues with spark know. I suspect a head gasket but there was no definitive signs. I got the engine up to operating temp... and shut it down. I drained about a quart of coolant out of the radiator, picked the right size adapter and pushed it into the radiator neck.... I removed the spark plugs... and applied 15 pounds of air pressure to the adapter.... Under pressure, #1 cylinder was blowing coolant into #2 cylinder. This tool, used properly, has multiple uses and can help diagnose vacuum and coolant leaks. Highly recommended
