Whats up Guys,

Just a quick question. How Do I check for Vacuum leaks... Any help would be appreciated. I'm still a rookie in the SC World, you guys are always alot of help.. I appreciate guys! Thanks!
 
One way is to use an UNLIT propane torch/ cylinder. Start the car and move the flow of propane around all areas of the engine that are suspect, if you encounter a leak you'll hear the engine idle change. Some areas to look at are the intercooler tube connections, vac lines, plenum etc.
Again...unlit....no cigarettes either. You go boom. Good luck.
