    Pressure testing kits

    I posted a thread a couple of days ago asking for advice about boost leaks. Got loads of advice so thanks.
    I've had a very quick look around and I'm a bit more familiar with the hoses and pipes going into and coming from the turbo/intercooler. I think I need to pressure test the system now. Where can I get a kit from? and are they easy to use? do you need a compressor? I'm assuming, I'll need to take the bumper off to properly check the ic pipes. I saw a post where someone had made one. should I try that or is it easier to just buy one.
    I took the MAF off. It all looked inside and it all looked a bit delicate to spray wd40 on so i didn't bother. Is this right? Anyway, I cleaned the conections and I've yet to test it.
    cheers guys.

    Don't clean your MAF with WD40, use IPA

      Lee is selling pressure test kits, there should be a thread in the group buy section. They are about £24-£25 for the bungs which test from the MAF point to the pipe which joins the metal intake pipe over the cam cover.
