Well easiset way to do it, and the cheapest way, is to take a full unopened pop can, put that to the intake of the turbo with your coupler, and tighten that down, so that is sealed. Then take a piece of vac line to connect to the turbo compressor boost nipple, and put a air compressor blow gun tip onto that. Then just pressureize the system with the blow gun. Be SURE to regulate the air comressor's outlet pressure to no more than like 30 psi, or whatever you want to run boost wise..You don't want too little pressure, but you dont really want to go over 30 psi, since you will prob never see that kind of pressure anyway..

or .... when you got your turbo kit on the intake side of the turbo, there might have been a rubber cap over the inlet. take that inlet, drill a small hole through the middle, put a tire valve through the inside so the valve is sticking out, put some epoxy or hot glue on the valve to hold it in place, let it fully dry, clamp on the rubber cap on the intake of the turbo and pressurize and spray soapy water around all your couplings and what not and find your leak like i did!!!!!
