I posted a thread a while back about a cheap DIY smoke test on the N54.

Thx! Same idea. Didn't realize how critical swisher sweets grape were...lol.

I'm afraid to try this... I'll be disappointed when I see smoke coming out of a bunch of places.. lol

OK, did this. Not sure what pressure I got to...wasn't much. Only place smoke came out was the oil cap with it open (via PCV, I presume)...I think this is normal...can anyone confirm? It happens in the video too and the comments indicate it is normal. Thx.

Note: I didn't block off the PCV because my issue happens with the intake at a vacuum so didn't desire to get much pressure. Boost looks good on logs up to 21#.
