Found this... Anyone try it or just stick with the custom Home Depot-rigged MAF cap ($15 for parts)?

I just made one out of pcv parts and used an air compressor. Make sure to unplug the PCV accordion hose that attaches on the passengers side of the engine bay, right above the turbo. Also plug it.

What can you use to plug the PCV accordion hose?

Hey where are you guys testing from.
I tested pre turbo and got quite
A
Bit of bubbling in the oil in my oil pan, I've read this could be my bad rings, or oil lines in my turbo

I'm going to follow this DIY and insert the pressure tester in the TIP:

I used the handle of a coping saw, but you could use a cork or anything really. The a4mods DIY is good it is just missing that extra step for PVC also remove your oil cap, I'm not sure why entirely but a well trusted shop told me that's the correct method for a b7
