Anyone use soapy water on the turbo boots to check for leaks? What kind of rpm would one need to get some airflow/pressure into the system to check 'em?
TIA

You won't get enough boost unless the truck is under load i.e. driving or dyno.
If you have an air compressor you can make an adaptor with a 4" hose clamp type rubber drain pipe coupler. Connect one end to the turbo inlet and in the other a short piece of 4" pipe capped with a 1/4'' port drilled and tapped into in for the air supply.

 

Where's the best place to get replacements? Found a good sized gash my IC outlet tonight. Time to replace them anyways.

Can you get them just black? Don't like the blue,,,ew.

 

First you want a source, then you get picky on the color. Just kidding!

Not sure what Piers offers as alternative colors.
I see silicone hose in blue, black, & red

 

LOL my truck is black orange and red, not sure adding another color would help it look any better lol. Actually, I've decided to repaint it, all white this time, but I still want the engine bay to be not so multi colored :-) I'll have to give them a call.

 

The black hoses aren't as good as the blue ones. The black are neoprene/rubber and the blue are silicone. I still have the black ones but when they go I'll switch to the silicone.
