Full boost leak detection?
Could one cap off the exhaust pipe, and puff up the system so that the she has no where to go except through a leak. This way, you can spray the exhaust manifolds as well..?

You don't need to spend all the $ on this device. Just build your own. Put a regulator on your compressor, set it to around a max of 15lbs. But first, remove the pcv hose from the AI and plug it at the dog house, this helps you to hold pressure. Check your map line for leaks too. It will leak at the map line connections because those spring clamps just don't hold. I used worm clamps here to seal it up at both ends. Also, check your vac lines, the red and green lines at the boots and connections for dry rotting. Mine were bad. Now for the more obvious places are all the CAI boots hot & cold sides, Y pipe at plenums (boots) etc. Now here is wher you want to rig up a system that will apply constant pressure to the system while you spray the entire set up with soapy water. You will not be able to keep all the little vac boots from leaking 100 percent. I don't think they were designed to hold a constant psi at these points. I could not seal mine at these points completely either. I hope this helps you out.
