On3 turbo leak question Hello,
I have an On3 turbo and I have a leak behind my compressor housing when I hooked up my boost leak tester and ran compressed air. What options do I have? The soapy bubbles were all up top and didn't go away when I removed and tightened the turbo bolts a few times.
copper rtv behind the turbo compressor connection and bolts wouldn't cure this right?
Help or ideas appreciated.

It's a machined fit so it won't take very much at all, you could also use flange sealant which isn't as aggressive as silicon is as an adhesive.

Take the compressor housing off and see if there's an o-ring seal out of place, if no o-ring is used for sealing then a very thin layer of silicone will do the job.

You can use rtv, just use a very small amount otherwise if you want to get the housing off in the future it'll be tough to get apart.
The flange sealant comes apart easier.
