What a great video. Thanks for sharing. So I did the same test and it's not holding air in the system at all. I left it hooked up pumping about 22 lbs in the whole time, but I dont feel a leak anywhere. Could it be going back through the other side and losing it internally? Not sure where to go from here. But definitely not holding air or pressurizing. I've gone over all the clamps and fittings bit cant find a leak. I have an 05 lly. Any help is greatly appreciated

What tuner do you recommend for monitoring boost and engine performance? MPG has dropped recently so I suspect I am losing boost somewhere but have no way to monitor pressure.
