For the Doser pipe,.. I remove the pipe that goes down towards the DPF,.. Then I stuff this inside, and inflate it to 35-PSI.

For the intake, I remove the air filter and stuff one of these (depends on size of pipe) into the pipe, inflating it to 35-PSI ...

or...

I use a bicycle pump to inflate them.
After I plug the entire engine,.. I remove the turbo inlet temp sensor and have an adapter I made to put about 10-20 PSI of air (with a really good regulator and pressure gauge).
I listen for leaks (it needs to be fairly quiet around the truck),.. and use soapy water on every pipe and gasket, the CAC, and a lot of other components too. It is extremely effective in finding fuel mileage loss and boost leak problems... Even if they are minor.
I also use this with my EVAP machine sometimes and that is very effective too.
You would be surprised at the places that engines will leak, such as a bad air compressor head leaking boost into the crank case, etc. -- I even found a bad EGR cooler once this way that was putting pressure into the coolant system.

I have always been able to find leaks with the tools I mentioned above, but in your case though,.. you might want to have something made that will allow for even higher pressures to be used.
pipe plugs, boost leaks, pressurize engine, pressurize entire engine, engine testing
Thanks Rawze for the info. I have found this online
