Lol! I got the boost leak guage on Amazon and I made the smoke tester with PVC . The boost leak tester is something we should all have. For our kit it's easy. Put it on the first charge pipe off the turbo then air it up 5 psi at a time. My peak boost is 21psi so I tested to 25psi just for kicks. After you air up and the air pump isnt running listen for the hiss. The smoke tester I just used 3" pipe with caps, drilled compressor fitting holes and threaded them in. Filled it with baby oil and an old cotton sock then used a soldering iron plugged in with a harbor freight hand pump. Sealed up the cap with electrical tape and sealed the container with epoxy. Smoked up the garage so bad testing GF made me come inside and watch 600lb life. ( That's punishment for me.)
