- In case of an accident or injury, have a first aid kit and a communication device (e.g., a phone) readily available. Know the location of emergency medical facilities.
- ALWAYS wait till the engine and turbo have cooled to ambient temperature BOFORE fitting the adapters, which are plastic and may melt and get warped from engine and turbo heat.
- ALWAYS follow the protocols for using a workshop airline or other sources of compressed air.
- Automotive repair is an inherently dangerous activity. This manual and the separate vehicle service manual cannot cover all possible situations that may arise, and training, common sense, and care must be supplied by the operator.

Operation
-
Turn the engine off and wait till it has cooled to room temperature.
-
Locate a test point where it is easily accessible to attach the test adapter and the blanking adapter.
It is recommended to pressurize the system to the flow of the charged air. -
Measure the hose diameter to select the correct adapter. Fit the adapters onto the hoses to be checked. Reuse or apply new hose clamps and ensure the hose clamps are secure or torqued to your vehicle’s specifications.
Before connecting the gauge, ensure the regulator knob is fully closed to zero and the lever on the gauge is turned to its off position. -
Connect the pressure gauge to the test adapter by holding back and releasing the sleeve on the gauge’s quick coupler.
-
Connect the pressure gauge to your workshop airline or other compressed air outlet. Use the provided DIN adapter and another quick coupler as needed.
-
Slowly turn open the lever and turn the knob to set the desired pressure as stated in your vehicle’s specifications. Press lock the knob when the desired pressure has been reached.
-
Carefully listen to air escaping throughout the turbo charging system. If no audible leaks are detected, apply soapy water to joints or connections. A leak will cause the soapy water to bubble.
-
If no bubble has been formed and the reading of the gauge remains stable for one minute, it indicates that the system is functioning properly. Pull unlock and turn the knob to its closed position. Remove the workshop air line from the gauge and disconnect the gauge from the test adapter. Remove test adapter and blanking adapter from your vehicle and stow everything away.
Maintenance
- Check for smooth movement and secure connections before each use. Never use this tool if any part is found to be loose, bound, worn, or damaged. Tighten, lubricate, repair, or replace all such components before further use. Only use identical parts for replacement.
- Clean the components of this toolkit after each use. Do not use caustic chemicals or harsh abrasives.
- If this kit will ever be unused for an extended period, clean all components, place them in their storage case, and store in a cool dry location inaccessible to children and away from direct sunlight.
