What is a "REAL" boost leak test?

Insulators are the seals. Buy new ones from Mitsu, they get old and hard over time causing leaks. You can try to relieve the pressure one way or anything or just pull the fuel rail off and be ready for fuel. There will be fuel no matter what you do. Just don't drop the 3 black fuel rail spacers, they can get lost in the 2G intake manifold, you might want to tape them to the head before pulling the rail off.

Shane, I have a Big tank craftsman compressor, NOT a lame bike pump man!

Thanks again for the good tips!
