Hey, all.  I hooked up my compressor to the turbo inlet for an intake leak
test this weekend.  Found a bad hose or two, some loose clamps, etc.

As of now, air appears to be leaking out of the post-turbo intake stream
back into the pre-turbo intake stream.  I can hear/smell air coming into
the large rubber boot on top of the MAF assemply.

Where's this coming from? Is there something I should plug up for this
test, or  Or should I plumb the air in differently?  Or is this a
bona-fide leak becasue I need to replace a valve somewhere? ISV, maybe?

(I'm watching the dash pressure gauge carefully when doing this, keeping
it below 1.0 bar..)
