pressure test question.....

so i pressure tested my intake today up to 10LBS. using this
http://www.boostpro.net/prodtester.html
i also used soapy water.
when i started i couldnt get the gauge past 2lbs!!!
found all the leaks and stopped at 10LBS.
should i go higher?
im planing on running around 15LBS of boost so should i test up to 15?

I would test to at least what boost you plan on running if not a couple pounds higher. That way you can check and make sure all the connections are sound and avoid any problems. Just make sure you don't exceed the rating of the map sensor by much or just unhook it temporarily.
