This may turn out to be one of those epic waste your time postings, but my time is free and yours is to do what you wish with it.
Rigged up a smoke jar: oil soaked rag, wrapped with nichrome wire and hooked to a battery charger. Nice copious and continuous smoke. Tried just lighting the rag on fire first but smoke was short lived.

Hooked her up to the air compressor, saw one tiny leak from a vacuum line that had been plugged off with tape (ugh), but after a couple minutes had smoke drifting everywhere up from the muffler tip and wastegate muffler. Guess I pretty much filled the entire intake, heads and exhaust manifold with smoke!

Next to pull the IC, plug the TB opening and compressor outlet, run a hose between the two, rinse and repeat.
