The turbocharg- er includes a turbine and a compressor, and a non-contact seal positioned between an oil cavity and one of the turbine and the compressor. In one embodiment, the testing apparatus (302) includes a regulatable air input (304) configured to couple to an outlet of the oil cavity, the regulatable air input coupled to an air supply (306), and a flow restrictor (316) with at least one pressure gauge (318, 320) coupled to the regulatable air input. The kit (300) includes media embodying instructions (322) that specify correlating an amount of flow to a degree, rate, or amount of leakage past the non-contact seal.</p> |
