I was going to leak test my Motor today, then I realised they cram a lot of crap under the bonnet. I was thinking if I could slip the intake pipe off and put a cap (once I know the bell mouth diameter) over it, then pop some compressed air through the vacuum hose on the compressor? Maybe some soapy water if I have some suspicions?

What have you done?

I only have single Turbo and tmic.

I think tuning is a crime of passion, or maybe a labour of love. Either way it furiates and excites me.

Leak test of your vacuum or a leak down test of the engine?
