Anyone have a link or idea how to build a boost leak tester for up-pipes?

If not I might go ahead and just take them off and put the chevy 350 gaskets on there and be done with it, since there is no way I can offord the bellowed up-pipes of an e99 right now.

thanks

Boost leak tester for up pipes? Never heard of that, but if you crawl under your truck with a flash light and see soot on the pipes you have a leak. If your thinking you have a boost leak then get a pvc endcap and a compressor hose fitting and pump about 10 psi into your intake then listen for the leaks. Have to have your ccv blocked off or rerouted to work.

I had seen one on dieselsite that isnt availible anymore, it has a guage on it, probably to tell how much psi is in there. but thats what I needed!

Thanks

yeah but like i said, nothing to do with up pipes. Just build one its cheaper, like mine just add a guage if you dont have them in the cab.
