Squeeze it....>
The big black one leading off the turbo inlet pipe. Clamp off with Long needle nosed vice grips, or one of those hose clamp sets you can get at harbor freight for a few bucks..

Re: boost leak test
ive been searching the net for 1.8t boost leak tester DIY
i made one that goes into the TIP hose
ive seen others that go straight onto the turbo
same thing though
guna give it a try tommorow
fingers crossed i find a leak as im out of ideas as to what else it could be
stuck with the 17705 fault code (which alot of 1.8t's suffer with.
DV is fine tried the suction test(holding the nipple in) and is fine
i was going to change the DV line hose - which is 6mm if im right guys
and is that jus the inner diameter of the hose which is 6mm or inner and outer?
