    I'm looking to borrow one of those boost leak tester plugs that goes into the stock-size turbo inlet on the MAF hose side, anyone have one they'd be willing to lend out sometime? Thanks!

    I made my own. Nothing special, but it worked. Assembled some pieces at Fleet Farm put of PVC and a valve stem. I'd say it's yours to borrow anytime but I'm in Owatonna. Otherwise, could post a pic to make your own?

    Sorry for the delay, have been having some issues trying to upload pics. And it looks like you've located one anyways.

    Anywho, here's my homemade jobber. The ball valve is unnecessary but I went with that because the OD is the exact same as the ID of the turbo inlet (factory '03 WRX, at least). The insides of both ends are threaded, so I got a threaded plug that goes in, drilled a hole in the end of the square chunk, then pulled a valve stem in. I think I'm in it for all of $10-15 and it worked just fine.
