Re: problem with the miata
i once got desperate/bored and rigged up a leak tester + CO2 paintball canister + the regulator and valve from my marker to do this test. there is plenty of cubic FEET in the 20oz can so my air compressor never got used. i THINK the setup was pushing 50-100psi. enough to hear the leak whistle
lmk if you want me to elaborate. perfect if you dont have an air compressor.

Re: problem with the miata
i checked everything with soapy water today, no intercooler pipes are leaking. and the way the miata engine bay is setup makes it fucking impossible to see if the IM gasket is leaking, so i'm going to replace it asap anyway. i did find a small vac leak, but it'd been the same way since i bought it so i know that isn't going to help.
