I had the need to check my turbo hoses this morning and used the brake reservoir cap/schraeder valve combination that I have made up.

I use it to bleed my brakes with a bicycle pump and as luck would have it the size of the cap is almost a perfect fit when clamped into the end of the turbo hose. I turn my compressor regulator down to about 15lbs pressure and use a tire chuck to pressurize the system. Leaks are instantly found with sound of excaping air.

I have included an image of the cap with two inserts of it in place.
