Boost leak??

Post by Tman21 »

Hey Guys, back in the VW stable with a 2.0TDI Transporter T5 as a daily/race van.

Sorting out something small on the drive train in preparation for some more power. The little 75kw is perfect for around town but overtaking on long distance trips can be a bit of an issue.

To cut a long story short im probably just going to do a map at first but Im almost convince I hear a bit too much turbo under load so possibly a small leak somewhere. She has 240K km on the clock, no smoke, still gives 13kmpl and for 75KW I think it doesnt pull too bad.

Whats the best way to test/detect a boost leak on these little TDI's as I dont want to make my way to someone to write a file just to be pointed home to go and sort out something like a boost leak first.

Thanks
T
