    Best way to pressure test an intercooler

    cap of one of the ends, make the tester (cap would be a tester without the fitting), pop a compressor on it with a regulator and pump maybe 15-20PSI into it... toss it in a swimming pool with the hose on the tester and look for bubbles... that's how I'd do it...
