Has anyone done a turbo leak back test on a 20 vt. I don't think I have a problem other than car is a little sluggish to accelerate but once going it runs well.
I have made up a leak back tester to fit the air intake pipe after it is removed from the MAF meter but I need to know what other pipes I may need to remove before forcing air into the intake system. I believe I will need to remove and block off the hole left after removing the fitting going to the engine breather but am not sure what the two smaller pipes just after this actually do ( they seem to go behind a heat shield but unsure as to what they do ). What kind of air pressure figure am I looking at putting into the intake system safely.

Id be interested to find out if mines losing any boost too. Might be worth asking in the Leon Cupra section as its the same 1.8T engine after all just running the `S` version of the ko3 turbo (and hence getting another 30hp...now that might help these wagons go)
