Help checking for boost leak.
I can't get this thing to air up past 2-3 psi. I did find that my GFB hybrid bov was leaking like crazy. Anyhow if anyone could lend a hand I will gladly provide beer. Thanks, Christian

Lol what do u think it's suppose to pressurize too?? That's normal before it all let's out. Are u also using a spray bottle with soap and water??

Yup, that's how I found out the bov was leaking. I don't know what to expect, never done it before. Looked it up online, some say that it holds some sort of pressure, some don't. It's the internet, that's why I'm asking here. Hopefully to get some good advice. Thanks.

the best way is to have 2 ppls with you. one spray all the areas that can be a possible leak with soapy water then pressurize the system. also an area that leaks is where the pcv valve is
