Message	There must be a nominal period of time that a boost-tight system will bleed down from 5psi. It seems reasonable to assume it would take sometime between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes. Am asking members how long they can hold that initial 5 psi charge in their systems; AFTER they have detected and fixed any boost leaks. If everyone says five minutes, then I have more boost leak detection to do. If most say a minute, plus or minus 15 seconds... then I am confident that I found all my boost leaks. _________________________________________________
