Pressure Testing Question (951 Intake)
Due to low boost pressure symptoms, I need to pressure test the intake charge system on my '87 944 Turbo. Does anyone have a preferred way of doing this?
My current plan is to disconnect the J-boot at the AFM housing and add pressure from there. I realize it would be ideal to add pressure from the turbo compressor outlet, but I know my bypass valve is working properly and the J-boot is more accessible.
Thoughts?

A very helpful page from ArnnWorx, you can make something similar with PVC fittings from HomeDepot..

Pressure testing after the turbo is a good idea as the compressor cover will leak a little.
