Brilliant video. I wish there was more of these types of videos to find.
I've an underboost code on a 520D BMW F10 model.... don't know where to start.

Great video!

if I smoke test starting from the air filter box right after the MAF, would the smoke travel to the charge pipes too? Or do I have to smoke test from somewhere else? I have an N20 btw.

What are you using to block off the inlets?

Dude I've been going nuts trying to find the stupid leak at the Charge pipe and seeing this and I was feeling the boost leak right from that very spot but couldn't figure out what was happening! I'll be using some teflon tape on mine tomorrow and hoping it works!! I'll post it here if I remember to even if it doesn't work. Thank you for sharing this!!!

Yo did the Teflon tape on the map screws work?? I have major boost leak and I can feel it coming from that area of charge pipe

[@friguy4444]

@@330Details I took my charge pipe out to look at those bolt holes and on mine (I have two of them and checked them both just to see) they both were not drilled through so they can't leak. The tape should work though if yours are through in that spot.

@@friguy4444 try putting a o ring on it fuck it never know if that might work

When you open the oil cap, comes smoke?? When yes is the pcv broken?

[@barbigurl6300]

What did you use to plug the intake

[@AustinChappell]

Not sure what you did for the screw holes - maybe Teflon tape?

[@menjicar]

I actually did use Teflon tape and it sealed it
