set the pressure regulator on your air compressor to ~15psi (or whatever you plan to boost), and pressurize the system. you should be able to hear air rushing out if you have a leak. a spray bottle of soapy water also helps find them.
Well I wanted to hook it up on the end part of my intake to make sure the intake couplings also aren't leaking, but as long as I'm testing from the right place I'm happy. Thanks!
