Anyone in or around the Baltimore, Md area have a boost leak tester or a smoke tester?

You could try building your own for cheap with stuff from Home Depot and Autozone.
Find a PVC cap about the size of your intake pipe, drill then put on a brass fitting, connect a hose to that, then connect a small bicycle or car tire valve to it and pump it up with a bicycle pump.
That's what I did with mine.

I made that, works great. Later I took off the tee and the gauge because they aren't really needed.
Just squirt some soapy water on suspect areas, and also listen for the leaks very carefully.
