[s-cars] Boost while parked????

[Kirby Smith]

A rubber PVC pipe cap can be adapted with a tire valve and interfaced to
the hose from the air cleaner.  Be sure to disconnect and plug the hose
between the valve cover and turbo inlet.  Otherwise you will also
pressurize the engine with possible leakage around the crankshaft seals.
