How do you do a pressure test?

[Alladin]

I'm getting the PG combo soon and would like to do a pressure test on the system stock, then after the upgrade. I'm hoping I find a vacuum leak that would explain all the darn problems I'm having.

i built my own from plubming parts at the HOME DEPOT!! FTW.. just a simple 2.5 inch rubber coupler with a 2.5 inch cap drill a hole through the cap for a bike tire valve stem, seal it good and away u go. (rockon)

Does Home Depot have the tire valve stem or gotta find it somewhere else? Black silicone the way too go for sealer?

and type of gasket seal will work.. the bike tire stem i had im they should have them there im not 100% sure though

Cool thanks guys,

How many pounds of air did you put in the system? 5 or so? I don't wanna end up blowing anything.

 

[bova80]

15 or so
