Bad driving with a boost leak? Weird thing is that it holds boost pressure.


Reason why i'm asking is that I think it's not good.

BUt a SRT buddy of mine said it's ok.


what do you guys think.

The leak spot for me is on the IC pipe right next to the fire wall the small hose

You'll run the turbo harder than you should and you'll run rich. It's not a big deal short term with a small leak. Most people on here have done it before. Its part of driving a turbo charged car.

Running too long with a boost leak will foul your cat and trying to make high boost with a leak will cause extra wear on your turbo.
