Here's how you can make one.

There are many different ways people make these things, you can even buy them if you want to.

I made one out of PVC pipe and connected it to my inlet side where my intercooler connects to the intake, I'm a smoker so I then inhalled like a whole cigarette and blew it into the inlet I pressure glued a tire valve in the end of it then just put a bicycle pump on the tire valve "WITHOUT THE VALVE CORE" then pumped it up a lot until I found my leak "mine was a bad gasket under my wastegate" but yeah I saw mine pretty easily after that good luck! you can make the same thing I made just use a air compressor if you have one close by I just didnt own one at the time well I did but I had no power ran to my tool shed at the very edge of my property, the air compressor way is much easier and quick but good luck yet again should be easy enough to find!!

There is many ways to make them i made mine for less then $5. I have made a few for diff size pipes and turbo inlets just used a normal silicone coupler plug one end with a plastic plug with hose clamp drill a hole and put a valve stem in.
