Default How Do You Tell If You Have An Airleak

I need help with an issue. I have the Dezod S1 kit for automatic transmissions and for some reason it seems like I am loosing the power I used to have. How can I tell if im loosing air pressure when boosting? What can I do to fix this problem if this is the problem? Lastly is a stock Caliper SRT-4 suppose to be able to beat an automatic 2AZFE with the a tuned Dezod S1 kit at 10psi? These questions are mainly for Paul or Joe but anyone with knowledgeable info will help.

You can make/buy a boost leak tester, google it and you can learn how to make one

Stock caliber srt 4's can a run low 14 sec 1/4 mile with an ok driver. I dont know what turbo auto tc's run so I cant give you a for sure answer on that

yeah very possible that stock srt4 can take you, it depends on how you are tuned and how much power you have.. 1st step is checking pipes and lines visually after checking/correcting and leak is still suspected, observe your boost response and your monitor you vac/boost gauge.. big leaks can result to unstable afrs too and driveabilty.. then you get a air leak tester like mentioned
