    Mix water and soap, put it in a bottle, then spray it on every part of the intake. When pressurizing the intake, you will easily find any and all leaks by looking for bubbles. It's the best tip I've ever read on dsmtalk.

    Isn't there a vfaq on how to make your own boost leak tester for under 5 bucks? They aren't hard to build and I would think you would need a leak tester handy at all times once you've crossed the 20psi mark.
