Re: Does my Turbo System Have a Leak?

If your car is stock you weren't seeing 20+ psi. STI's max out at 17 PSI and its not even efficient at that PSI.

Next, stop letting your friend talk you into doing stupid things. Turbo flutter is not a good thing. "Blocking off" the turbo is a good way to blow it up due to compressor surge.

The only way to find out if you have any leaks is to do a boost leak test.
