99 F350 Boost question

Return the fog machine... What the hell is that going to show...
Pick up this tool
Boost leak tool
Hook it up and with some soapy water spray all your boot connections, from the turbo, to the motor.
If you have any leaks you will see bubbles coming from the area.
If you dont have any boost leaks you could have up pipe leaks, which you say you have checked.
Look at this picture...
Keep in mind the turbo is removed in this picture.
You dont want to see what the red arrow is showing. You can also have leaks from what is called the "babys butt" part with the blue arrow. This is very hard to see, but if someone has pulled the turbo and not paid atten they can not get this seated properly and it will leak there as well.
You just have to start checking everything over very slowing and one thing at a time. What kind of boost gauge do you have? Brand?
