Mine has never blown off, and I have had it set to like 50+ psi on the compressor. Its messed up I think. Maybe I just don't do it right haha I probably screwed my engine to hell.

the one i linked is half the depth of yours, and uses Tbolt Clamps. Much safer. its also got shiney metal. not plastic.

Mine is PVC, I will be picking up Tbolt clamps when I'm in town this weekend from Napa. Mine is also about 4.5 inches long, nothing outrageous.

Edit - The reason I don't already have the t-bolt clamps is because that stupid spectre coupler came with those clamps and I was on a huge budget at the time.

Neato, another boost leak tester! You can try and mass market them all you want, its been done 1000x before ;) Have fun, but YES definitely a great tool to have and everyone should do this on their car regularly!

Lol I'm sure Scheides that it would be hard to sell any since they are so easy to make your self. I have a few ideas to greatly improve this design.

I just did this because I needed one and for a little mini project while I'm stuck in Wisconsin.

A real mans boost leak tester has an air compressor fitting on it.

Amen. I love that whooshing sound when you unhook the compressor line.
