Default Using AWE boost leak tester. Unable to pressurize more than 2-3 psi barely.
<center><img src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f259/Diavan/Boost/IMG_0443.jpg"></center><p>Do I need a more heavy duty kind of Air compressor. Or it just takes 15-20 minutes to pressurize upto 8-9 psi. Or may I'm missing something. Oil Cap is off, &amp; one of the openings are blocked by the cork provided by AWE. I'm getting around 6-7 psi of boost max while driving, so I should be able to get to that using the air compressor. Any ideas guys. Thanx.

Default My guess is that compressor. Doesn't need to be heavy duty, but one that can
barley fill a big wheel with air wont suffice ;-)

Default This is the second one I've tried so far. Autozone one went to 4 psi though ...
This one from walmart sucked even more then. Crap.

Default hmmm ... can't seem to find any coleman on Lowes website. Even ...
Coleman website don't show any compressors. Or may be I'm looking wrong.
Even if I buy a different brand. What main feature(s) should I be looking for.

Default The kick @ss GF rounded up everything I need today. Perks of being an investigator for the
government. She comes and goes as she wants...

Our tax dollars working hard ;-/

Plans for the weekend?

Bring out the drag car??
