This works a million times better than carb cleaner.
Not sure what intake you are running but if you have a cone filter this is easy.
Take your TID to homedepot/lowes and go to the PVC pipe section. In there you will see black rubber end caps that come with hose clamps. Find one that snugs around your TID.
Then, punch a small hole in your new end cap and install it all into your car. Then get your compressed air squirter and set it for like 40psi. Then pressurize your intake of course with the car off.
If you have a leak. You are going to hear the hiss.
