Funny part was when they came in the lobby and told me they found the leak and it was a huge leak.....................




wait for it............

no shit...




The smoke was coming out the air filter in the end of my fastlane intake.

I had to show them how to block off the throttle body to hold air in.
That's your problem! Your intake is too free flowing!

Let me ask my project manager. He has a smoke thing for testing half-face hepa filters, for working with mold and other airborne nasty crap.

I'll find out where he got it and how much.

Only problem is the smoke burns the shit out of you eyes/ lungs. Lol

Only way I found was this.

Actually found two small leaks as shown in the vid. But not the problem I was looking for.

I'll get it. But I believe I will wait for the fest and let Mike Norris take care of it.

No luck, same leak, wherever it is.

I've got a genius idea for my own smoke test machine. I'll post some a parts list/DIY thread. Should be effective and cheap.
