DIY Leak Down Testing?

Sorry if this has been asked (I'd assumed it would have been) but I couldn't find anything after performing a search. If there is a thread, please post the link.

I'm looking at trying to DIY leak down tests. Some of the places where used 911s are located don't have reliable shops nearby, so hence the need for a DIY test.

Seems like a dual gauge tester would be more accurate then a single gauge.

I've read a few articles for general leak down testing, but nothing specific for a 3.2 Carrera.

Specific questions:

Quality testers at a reasonable price?
Any specific order to follow?
Specific sequence?
Acceptable readings?
Paths of leakage to listen for?
Specific tools of the trade (stethoscope-type device, or ?)?
Ways to find TDC?

Any advice appreciated. Mahalos, gentlemen!
