If you have an air compressor, you can get a regular air hose quick-release with threads on the other end and a PVC endcap(either 1.5" or 2" I believe) from home depot/etc. Then drill a hole in the endcap and thread the air compressor quick release into the hole. The plastic is really soft, so you won't need a tap.

Then disconnect the pipe going into the intercooler and plug the cap in its place and pump up to about 10psi and see what leaks. Usually the leaks pop up immediately at a few psi and nothing new comes up at higher pressures. There are other spots you can connect the air compressor to, but I find the intercooler inlet the easiest to access.\

And I agree, I use copper.
