i was thinking to myself what would be the best way to test my intercooler for leaks, and i came up with a design for a tester. i dont know if someone has already thought of it but i searched and couldint find anything on it.

first you would cap one end and on the other end you would have a coupler with some sort of air fitting on it like a bike tire has and also a pressure gauge. you would just fill it up with air and check for a pressure drop. just like a cooling system pressure test. i made a scetch of what it would look like.(excuse the shittyness of it, my mouse is hard to control.)

what do you think?

thats how people test for most leaks a pvc cap with a tire valve stem then spray with soapy water and watch for bubbles

Lowes sells everything you need except valve stem and gauge.
I use somewhat the same thing to pressure test the entire system!
You have to clock the rotors in the right position or it just runs threw the motor!
