i want to pressure test my car to check for any rouge boost leaks.
I dont think I really have one but on other turbo cars ive owned this a basic thing to diagnose issues and just a good thing to do prior to trouble shooting any tuning issues. does anyone have a diy for building he parts to do this? I can do it myself pretty easy but thought someone might have a document or post handy that already did most of the work. if not, i'll make a thread pressure testing

Or if you have $30 laying around and are like me, and can never find the DIY parts at the local Home Depot:

Don't forget a long air hose. Everytime I got close to finding my air leaks the damn compressor would kick on ad I couldn't hear crap! Lol. Had to get a 100' of hose and do the check far from the garage. Also, used some soapy water in a spray bottle that I keep around for finding tire leaks.

Shipping will cost same as the parts to build one yourself...
These are great to have, found out my EGR valve was leaking so now it sits blocked off until next emissions inspection comes around. Though I was a sissy and stuck mine post-turbo. Don't waste your time with schrader valves, quick disconnects work much better. Higher airflow volume and you can just plug it in and let it sit while you dig through the engine bay looking for leaks.
