I'll take a picture of it tomorrow. A few dollars at a farm store is all it takes. A piece of 4" OD rubber connector and a cap. Put in a valve in the cap. You connect it to your intake and with the tire valve pump air into the system at about fifteen psi ( If I remember correctly) and keep pumping. Then with a spray bottle filled with dish soap and water start spraying all of your connections on the intake. Any bubbles and you found a leak. Leave it to Travis!
Oh hell, here it is, I can get plently of sleep after I'm dead, LOL.

You might do a search on boost leak detector. Maybe its in the mod section at the top of the first page. Its pretty simple idea though, I shoved the black end inside of one of the intake hoses to get a tight fit and just used a 12v air compressor to pump air. The system will not hold pressure even if you don't have any leaks so you have to keep pumping air.
