then what would be the point. im going up to 25psi when im done. i only run 21 psi but id rather know the sstem can hold 25. it is fine to go higher then 7 psi. im not gonna go higher then 25 till i get my smc kit installed then il do like 28 ish or so.

well insted of hitting 21 psi then droping to 19 then tapering to 17 to what it is now. hitting 21 psi droping to 19 19 1/2 psi and holding shoud give you an idea. but yes i notice a difference. i just did a 26 psi test. held for about 2 min. id say im good to go. lets go test it out again now that im boost leak free. im so happy i did this

you can usually test for leaks with 5-7psi. What they're doing now is pressure testing their system. in that case you usually want to test it at the same psi as what you're going to run.
