A vacuum cleaner is a good idea (a little obvious; no wonder I never thought of it)!

I on the other hand, used the car's intake vacuum this morning, at -25C, because the problem is obvious in extreme cold. Due to the cold temperature, the supple vacuum fittings become rigid and hard to control and probably introduce some leaks that didn't show in my indoor testing. Suffice to say that in the end, the differences in the results were subtle, not obvious like I had hoped. A vacuum cleaner driven test would have been easier to setup and control, but I'm not convinced the results would have be clearer.
