Calibrated Power Stealth Boost Tester Leak Detector Tool

IMPORTANT NOTE: The base kit does not include the adapter you'll need to install over the face of the turbo for a complete kit. If you don't purchase one of the adapters, you will need to find your own means to install the pressure regulator into the system. Over the years, its been a daily occurrence for us at Diesel Power Products to describe to someone how to build a boost leak tool using an air compressor, pressure regulator, and a cap to cover the face of the turbo. Why? Boost leaks through intercoolers, intercooler boots, and intercooler pipes are such a common cause of power loss, increased smoke, and higher than normal EGT's that its one of the first things we tell customers to do. But now, instead of having to build the tool, Calibrated Power has one you can buy with all of the components you'll need less the air compressor. Your truck needs air! Not a little bit of air. Your diesel engine needs all the incoming air it can get. Increasing air in the combustion process will help manage your exhaust gas temperatures, limit your smoke output, and increase your power. This is why boost leaks kill diesel engines. Boost leaks can result in a smokey, laggy, dog-of-a-truck, which runs hot and burns excessive fuel. Basically, the exact opposite of what you want from your diesel. If you work with diesel trucks long enough, you’ll see leaks just about everywhere in the charged air system at one time or another. Remember, the charged air system includes anywhere from the turbocharger to the intake manifold. Your intercooler system, exhaust gas recirculation components, and even the turbocharger compressor cover can all develop boost leaks. With this kit, you can now easily and accurately test your entire charged air system. The kit is made entirely of premium parts, designed to last, and built to rigorous standards.  OPTIONAL ADAPTER DETAILS: The Compressor Inlet Adapter is a billet adapter that connects to your turbo's compressor inlet with a heavy-duty 4 ply boot and 2 high strength T-Bolt clamps. Removing a cold air intake in most trucks is a job that only takes a few minutes and requires the most basic mechanical skill. The same goes for installing and using the Compressor Inlet Adapter. Your billet adapter even comes with how many inch pounds the T-bolts need to be tightened to. The Turbo Faceplate Adapter connects directly to the inlet of the turbocharger.  If you have a sheet metal intake that’s not designed to hold compressed air or a brand new turbo upgrade, you may prefer this option. Just as the name implies, the billet adapter connects directly to the face of your turbocharger using the factory-style V-Band clamp or supplied mounting bolts. Both the Compressor Inlet Adapter and Turbo Faceplate Adapter feature a conveniently placed and sealed fitting, allowing them to work with the included high-quality regulator. This regulator is a crucial component when using the kit. If you have ever used a bad or failing regulator you know how frustrating it can be. You’ll notice the liquid-filled gauge here. That prevents erratic reading from pressure spikes and external vibrations. And of course, the regulator made from high-quality materials designed to last.
