Boost leak test

Wonder if anyone has it prefabbed (PVC tube with schrader valve) and from which end do you insert it at,...intake side where air filter pipe would be??

Maybe I should take to Vakamon.

if you have your own compressor, you can save a trip to ryan.

put the pvc caps on the compressor outlet pipe and the throttle body inlet pipe. basically you're enclosing the charge pipes to find a leak.

i found this idea from these guys on how to do it:

works like a charm, although i didn't use everything they used. that's how i found my turboxs rfl leaking.
