you can make one out of one of those bike tire pumps with the pressure read out on it. I did it and it worked great. If you have a leak the pressure will slowly drop (or quickly drop if you have a huge leak) might sound dumb but it is something nice to have around.

Hey Phillip...Wayne at CTC was able to pressure test my entire system on my old car...you may want to try him.

You might also want to get a hold of Bucky...he had an intercooler tested somewhere around here too.
