Default Small update on the boost pressure tester info:

I thought I'd be a smartie and provide a square head PVC plug so as to give you guys a target to drill into (for the air fitting). Well, since this plug is threaded, it leaks a little at the threads when pressurized.

So, I changed the part number to the part we used on our own tester:

(Mcmaster) 9102K223

Your drill bit may walk a little on the curved surface, but at least it won't leak when installed.

Sorry for any inconvenience...<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/27t_pressure_tester.pdf">2.7T Pressure Tester</a></li></ul>

Very cool, I had not even seen that before. Do the dealerships use something similar?

Default Correct.

All orders are shipping Monday, however, since my tech found the issue this morning.
