Default Having trouble finding an air pressure regulator for pressure testing...

I went to Home Depot and Costco but all they have are regulators that go from 0-160 psi in 20 psi increments. Since I only need about 10-20psi to pressure test the S4 plumbing I need something more precise. Where did you guys get yours?

Default Pressure testing again, huh? You should come up Sat. to Gary's and do it!

We are getting together to finish the turbo-swap. Motor and Tranny are going back in Sat. Can you make it up?

Default Yeah, we tried.

Missing parts kind of hampered the install. Fleet weekend, huh. Come up for only one of the days. Damn man, Love Parade one weekend then Fleet Weekend the next; eclectic events you attend my friend.

Yeah but the increments are so large how do you maintain 15psi?
