Figure it out I’m getting a 30ff in high rpm range and like 3rd or 4th have little To no wastegate rattle new to bmws So it’s a learning experience not too complicated just expensive parts and abunch of plastic parts that break too east and wear out too quick 🤦‍♂️

First comment, big fan. I wish i had stututu snails, can I be u?

[@azaraliyev3270]

Sorry for a naive question, but what if, instead of pumping air through the intakes, I simply start the engine and rev it?

[@BYOMotorsport]

The spark plugs will not ignite so no, it would not start. Also if they were to ignite, I don’t think 10psi wouldn’t be enough to rotate the crank.

Can one use a bike pump to feed air or that would not be powerful enough? Looking at air compressors and they either need to be plugged in or cost a fair amount of change. What would you recommend for someone without a garage or access to an outlet

[@BYOMotorsport]

Hard to say, I don’t think a hand pump would push out enough air to pressurize the entire system in the time that it depressurizes. You could maybe try a cordless tire inflator? Not entirely sure. Try seeing if you can rent an air compressor from harbor freight or home depot

@@BYOMotorsport makes sense. I didn’t know you could rent one. Hope this helps me find my leak

[@BYOMotorsport]

@@black_n5492 I would check online or call somewhere to double check, I’m sure you can find one to rent locally
