ok there are a couple designs out there for one of these but i havent seen one like this.....
parts you need:
(2) 1/4" male air line fittings
(1) 1/4" female air line fitting
(1) 1/4" to 1/4" male connector
(1) 1/4" regulator with gauge
(1) 1/4" air reel lead in line
(1) 2" to 1/2" pvc reducer (threaded)
(1) 1/2" to 1/4" threaded reducer
(1) thread seal tape
my total cost from home depot was about 40$
another thing i would recommend getting is a set of these:
nomex sleeves....i got mine from matco tools, these are what you see the ALMS guys wearing when they swap brakes during a race...they work that good!
ok you have made your boost leak tester now disconnect your IC piping from your turbo and put the pvc fitting in its place and tighten the clamp:
now connect your air line with the regulator turned ALL the way down
now very slowly open the regulator until you hear air hissing into the system...go check your boost gauge and slowly increase your pressure until you hear a loud hissing...it will be very obvious if you have a leak
make sure you dont exceed 20 psi unless your system is designed to handle it....i started to pop vacuum lines off at 22 psi
other things to check:
cap your intake pipe off, the vacuum lines will bleed air into the pipe and you will think you have a leak
watch where you put your hands and head, if something pops off it comes off with authority
you can tighten the piping if you have a leak with the system pressurized, just listen for the leak to stop
any other questions feel free to ask or pm me
btw i found 4 leaks with this setup that i couldnt find with a normal evap smoke test machine
good luck be safe
