    Anyone have a smoke tester?

    I have an annoying intake leak on my e46 that whistles at 10-20% throttle, and I can't track it down. Anyone have access to a smoke tester or smoke generator I could borrow?

    I made one and you are welcome to use it. You have an air compressor?

      Most likely the small branch off the backside of the intake elbow is split. Ultra common on e46s.

        Awesome, that's the first place I'll check.
