As it creates vacuum by air flow over an eductor nozzle assembly, it depends more upon volume rather than pressure. As such, any level of flow will do, the higher the flow rate, the faster it develops vacuum; but it always gets to the same level (24-27 inches). The manufacturer recommends at least 90 psig air delivery for optimum performance with larger volume cooling systems, such as Porsche’s. It is a neat tool, and it will pull a totally empty Boxster cooling system down to around 25 inches of vacuum in about 90 seconds, and then refill the system in about 3-5 min., leaving absolutely no air behind. And, as mentioned earlier, it will work on any cooling system. Real time saver around the shop and no “come backs” due to trapped air or coolant levels dropping later.
