Question Anyone have a boost leak tester???

Sup everyone,

i was seeing if anyone had a boost leak tester? i have a leak somewhere in my system and need to find that sucker, couldn't finish my tune at GST because it kept fluttering up top for whatever reason ( tried the stock bpv and didn't help). if anyone has a tester and a compressor that could diagnose my car it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

FIA / Crucial Racing has one in SSF, I had them build one for me a few months ago (specs are somewhere on NASIOC if you search) to do a pressure test.

It's a simple device - a PVC cap that attaches to your intake that has a valve stem on it.

Our new tester arrived today, I am going to test it this afternoon to confirm all is working as it should but after that if you would like to drop us a line we would be more than happy to leak test your system for you.
