Default Interest in Boost Leak Test Kit?

This is a feeler, of sorts.

Just this past weekend I spent about an hour at Home Depot and some other lawn and tractor store trying to find the parts needed to make a boost leak test valve kit for the air intake pipe...

I'm just curious if there's any interest in the F/I Z community in these kits? I could save you a few hours hours of your time (shopping, assembling, waiting for sealant to cure) by making and shipping them to you, for a small fee (slightly over cost). Everything would be included to hook this up to an air compressor.

Let me know.

why would you need to cap the exhaust, the engine seems to plug it fine.

I dont know if the stock valves have no overlap what so ever . But if there is a little overlap like the Nismo cams have . There will always be a exhaust valve and intake valve open at the same time . The exhaust will be pessurized also .

I know because I have made a pipe to pressurize my whole system and had to cap off the exhaust .
