Head over to Home Depot and grab the parts to make a boost leak tester.
It'll take about a day to make, as the silicone I suggest using to seal it up well needs a day to dry. You'll need an air source to charge your intake system, so it may be a good opportunity to pick up a 5 gallon tank while at HD...they're around $20.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html">El cheapo boost leak tester</a></li></ul>

Re: Don't go over 15 PSI....Head over to Home Depot and grab the parts to make a bost leak tester.
Don't put too much boost in there.........
15 PSI should be tops.

isn't stage3 s4 supposed to be 20-23 PSI?
when i went to status, jeremy just connected the air hose strait without any regulator.
15 PSI is probably sufficient, but i don't think bad things will happen if you go 20; no?

When you pressure test it pushes air though many parts of the vacuum system also. Not sure if it will hurt anything or not.
Also the pressure cap popping off gives some a heart attack, just ask Sean. I thought I would have to get a gurney for him the second time the cap popped off at 15 PSI can't imagine the sound at 20 PSI..
I found running around 12-14 PSI works well. Cap stays on and you'll find the leak.
