What version did you have? I know the earlier version had a lot of problems with this. Also for future reference it's stupid easy to make a boost leak tester.

I think we all said it was a boost leak That's the issue 90 percent of the time, but members on here always lie and say they've already run a boost leak test and found nothing. I don't understand that. We're just trying to help. If you don't have to tools to run a boost leak test, just tell us.

Boost leak how-to in my sig, btw.

It's probably the early version cuz the guy that had it before me said he bought it and at the time it was one of the few kits out

I don't remember that you specifically lied about it, but why didn't you run it first when we mentioned it?
