Default Boost system pressure testing kit

Guys,

Absolutely AGES ago on here, someone posted up a picture of their home made boost system pressure testing kit.

I'm after the picture of the tube with a capped end that is put into the compressor in (or just before inlet manifold!), it had lots of different diameter tubes welded together so it stepped down, allowing you to use it on lots of different sized inlets etc

Who was it, and can you post the pic again please?

It may have been Stu, I don't know..........

Cheers

Andy,

It was very similar to that! But the one I remember had lots of different diameter pipes welded together so it reduced in size that way! Cheers tho mate

Any more pics of similar ones guys?

Alright Kev

Cheers Ian, that isn't the one I remember, but it does look similar to what I'm thinking, just the one I saw had lots of different, slighly smaller diameter tube all welded together and got smaller as it got longer...
