Mastercool 43060-TB — Turbo/Intake Diagnostic Smoke Machine

Professional Turbo/Intake Diagnostic Smoke Machine with Built-In Compressor

The Mastercool 43060-TB is a versatile professional diagnostic smoke machine designed for turbocharger systems, intake manifolds, exhaust systems, vacuum lines, and much more. What sets the 43060-TB apart is its built-in internal compressor, giving you three smoke injection options: internal compressor, shop air, or inert gas. This flexibility makes it ideal for workshops and mobile service operations.

Important: This machine is designed for turbo, intake, and general automotive diagnostics. It is not suitable for EVAP testing. For EVAP testing, see the 43060-EV model.

Three Smoke Injection Options - Ultimate Flexibility

The 43060-TB provides unmatched versatility with three smoke injection methods:

• Built-In Internal Compressor: No shop air required - perfect for mobile service or locations without compressed air (max 22 psi)
• Shop Air: Connect to your workshop compressed air system for continuous operation (max 28 psi)
• Inert Gas: Use nitrogen or other inert gases for specialised applications (max 28 psi)

This triple-option design makes the 43060-TB the most flexible smoke machine in the Mastercool range.

How Smoke Testing Works

Diagnostic smoke testing is the fastest, most reliable method for locating leaks in vehicle systems. The 43060-TB introduces dense, non-toxic smoke into the system under controlled pressure. The smoke escapes at leak points, making even the smallest leaks immediately visible. This eliminates guesswork and dramatically reduces diagnostic time compared to traditional methods.
