$7 boost leak tester
Home depot:
Charlotte Pipe 2 in. PVC Sch. 40 Plug-PVC 02118 1800HD - The Home Depot
+
Fernco 2 in. x 2 in. DWV Flexible PVC Coupling-P1056-22 - The Home Depot
+ a metal screw in tire valve, possibly for free from a local tire shop
=
Seems to hold enough pressure to work decent. I was putting in about 17psi when I was tracking down some leaks. The clamps held tight but the rubber was swelling a little. Would probably not recommend for 25+psi obviously, but for what I needed it worked great.
