nice, you need to get some traction back there though. Do you have anything done to your trans?

i just feel them, for weak spots or you could pull all of them and look for holes.
i've also heard about spraying brake cleaner on the hoses but i've never tried that

i have a adapter made from pluming supply's with that hooks onto the turbo inlet. It has a air chuck screwed into it that i pressurize the system with. Set the regulator to about 30psi and spray it all down with soapy water wand look for leaks.

also look at the intercooler for leaks.
