Here's a vid we shot of our test setup.

It includes an TMIC bypass pipe so we could get at all the potential leakpoints in the rat's nest and intake manifolds.

We also made this vid showing how we used dry ice in a watering can to make seeing the source of a leak easier to find. If you smoke that'll work too. Unless you have a pulsation damper leak in which case you might blow up!

Hope those help.
Interesting idea....though I don't own a compressor. I'm actually thinking of paying someone to finish this up and work out the bugs. I simply don't have the time to work on it and when I do find time I find myself rushing to get as much done as possible and I start making mistakes and missing things......like great big vacuum leaks.
