Default do you mean compression testing?

unplug your fuel injector connectors &amp; your spark plug/ coil packs... then remove 1 coilpak/plug and turn the engine over... it wont start but you can determine the compression from that.

Default no pressure test, not compression

I want to check where my vacuum/boost leak is, not the compression of the heads.

With this I will pressure test the intake and look, hear for leaks in hoses.

Default oh

I am normally aspirated, I just change my vac hoses and am good...

you might want to get a vac gauge so you can plug it in and see where the leaks are.
