Default possible boost leak areas?... Pressure Testing.

what are the hoses that can cause boost leaks? obviously the ic hoses, but...?

And for pressure testing, what are some simple ways? i have heard of using a bicycle pump? i have a 5 gallon air compressor with this adjustable valve on it, but i dont know is this will be good or not. So can i just use a bike pump and pump it till 10 psi or so, and check for leaks and hisses? Instead of a air valve, i will place a bike valve in the end cap. What do you think?

I dont want any blown turbos over the requested boost not being used. *overspin*

thanks.

Default Use the bike pump, just make sure you pump really fast because the engine won't hold pressure.
