    Anyone ever get a smoke test done?

    My M50 isn't running too well cause of vacuum leaks that I cannot find. How much does a smoke test cost on average? This vac leak isn't too obvious at all

    Expect one to two hours of labor.

      I do them a lot at work. It's very easy, but can take some time. I would say on an M50 no more than 1 hour checkout.

        The M50 doesn't have a maze of vacuum hoses, what's there hiding from you? If you replaced all of the hoses, connectors, and intake gaskets when you did your swap there shouldn't be any leaks unless something isn't connected right.

        But that's just my .02. ;)

          Pretty sure he just tossed it in and crossed his fingers hoping it would work:p But maybe my sarcasm meter is broken.
