I currently have BBK headers and the high flow cats that come with them. I'm only running the AFR now no supercharger yet. I just want to make sure it was my poor trifecta tune leaning out my car or if there's a bigger issue before I get the kit. Once I do I plan on gutting the cats and eventually weld up a flanged straight pipe so I can unbolt it and install my cats when I need emissions done. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |

Don't know if I mentioned this, but if you do a leak test REMOVE THE OIL CAP.
Hate to use caps like that but it is extremely important, if you don't you could blow your seals. I did a leak test yesterday and I could feel the air coming out of the oil cap hole. I got mine up to 12 PSI, no leaks and it was a very slow leak down, so mine is good to go. I was able to remove the 90 degree elbow on the supercharger inlet and place my leak tester without having to remove the wheel. |

So I am in the process of leak testing, and as you can see in the picture, there is a metal pipe that bends downward 90 degrees and gets in the way of the leak tester. Then there are some wires that connect to a valve that connect to the metal pipe (valve is circled). I disconnected the wires and screwed off the valve, and I heard a popping noise and this green dust comes out of the valve for a couple seconds. Anyway now the tester fits into place, but I can't get any pressure to build up. It just goes to 1 psi and stops. I am using an air compressor and wait till it builds up 80 psi before using it. Did I do anything wrong?

Silver piping looks like an ac line

I use a tire inflator because you are filling up a LOT of space, your compressor might not have enough volume. |

Ya I'm using my tire inflator now, and it's also not doing anything. How long should it take to build up pressure? My inflator says "pressure: 160psi" on it. Aren't I supposed to "cap" the tubing somewhere? Where would pressure build up if it's just circulating though the tubing?

The pressure builds up all the way through the tubes into the intake manifold. Some excess pressure will go past the pistons and through the crankcase out the oil cap hole. How much boost do you have during normal driving? You only want to put as much pressure as you are going to boost it to. |

Btw did I do any real damage to the AC? I have never dealt with "depressurizing" one...

On another note, got my emblem from emblem pros today; subtle way to show whats under the hood (well as subtle as you can get when driving a bumblebee with blue halos and hid fogs :roll eyes

How did you push that line over? Did you just nudge it over ?

Yeah, just moved it a little bit, I had to for the CAI box. That was over 2 years ago so I may have used an 8 lb sledge hammer and forgot about it.
