Testing for boost leaks
A very simple and accurate method to finding boost leaks. I was having problems after just finishing my turbo kit holding boost and wasnt sure where the problem was. I made a quick video showing one way of pressurizing the system and using soapy water to find the leaks.
I had a couple significant areas needing addressing, but this is a good way to find the smallest of leaks or in my case large ones.
Hope it may help one or two people.

Good methodology!
I would think that given the volume of air produced with an LS FI setup, you would have to have some fairly signifigant leaks to affect the boost level.
My biggest worry is downstram of the meth injection and having vaporized meth flowing around in the engine compartment.
