Message First off, sorry to the people who were trying to find my, “How To Find a Boost Leak”. The server went down some time ago and I never got a chance to fix it til now. I improved the boost leak finder a little so enjoy.

I thought of this when Zhound (Zfreak) was having a boost leak problem. All you need are two 2" rubber caps and a air compressor that shoots out about 25psi.of air. If you use more then 25 psi. you might do some harm to the engine. This is what it looks like.

You will need to drill out the center of one of the rubber caps for the air compressors nozzle.

Next remove the T hose from the intake and put the 2" rubber cap on both ends of one of the intake pipes

Then have someone put there ear next to the engine and stick the air compressors nozzle in the cap that has a small hole in it and listen for hiss.

If you hear a hiss you got a leak, it's just that simple! :) Also remember to put the air compressor as far away as possible so it does not interfere with finding any leaks. The rubber caps can be bought at Home Depot in the plumbing section. BTW I bet you can't guess who's hand that is?? And thanks BeazTT for the idea and Ryan for the pictures and Zo for having that boost leak and NIZZAN for hosting the pics.
