You're welcome Leon.
There's one way to check it without " equipment " but you have to be careful. I can't stress that enough. Position the vehicle in such a way that if it moves forward, it isn't going to run into anything or anyone. Put the pop the bonnet and position yourself down either side but NOT in front of the vehicle. Have someone else sit inside with the engine running. Apply the handbrake firmly. Place the vehicle in drive with foot firmly on the brakes. Maintaining good brake pressure, gently apply the throttle with the other foot. The vehicle will " stall up ". You'll be able to hear the boost build up from the turbocharger and if there is a leak in a hose or inter cooler you will be able to hear it whistling. Don't build the revs up too high, 2000 rpm should be plenty and don't do it for too long. Maximum 5-6 secs at a time. Allow 10sec or so between attempts to allow the torque converter and transmission clutches to cool.
This should only be carried out by yourself and someone you trust to follow the instructions as it isn't the safest thing to do without experience.
Have a visual inspection of all the hoses first before you attempt it too. No need to take risks if you can see the problem first.
Hope this helps and stay safe.
