I have got the thing airtight now. I am glad I went to the bother of getting some 12mm thick plates made up to seal the manifold - lots of holes!
I got it sealed and took it to 5 bar when one weld broke - I wanted to see how strong my welds were - now I know.
Just now it holds 3 bar boost and drops to 2 bar in about a minute. I will dip it in a bucket of water to see where it is leaking but seems pretty good now - needs a clean up and a paint.
