    Here is a pressure testing set-up I came up with to test the intercooler ducting to find a leak for the P0299 code. I used my radiator tester and just got a 1-1/4' PVC plumbing cap, a 2" coupling and a 1-1/2" coupling from the local hardware store. I could pressurize it to 10 psi. Found a leak...

    I think I have found the source of my issues. I think the o-ring on the intercooler pipe to throttle body is worn or damaged.
