I believe I have an air leak, but am not exactly sure what the best route is to locate it. I plumbed in a different filter housing, and now every time I start the truck it doesnt want to start easy, and stumbles around kinda like after a fuel filter change. Once it clears up its good until I shut her off again. I also know that its close to the pump, since it happens immediatly upon startup. Also no fluid leaks.

Any easy way to search for an air leak? All my fittings seem snug and I used teflon tape on all joints.

I plugged the hose coming off the turbo with a cap and we put a valve stem in it. On the other end going into the intake we put another cap but set up with a air pressure gauge attached. Put air to it and you know how much. If you see the gauge moving just start spraying soapy water everywhere

Pressurize the fuel tank (lightly) with a air hose and a shop rag. That will push fuel out of any air leaks on the suction side and make them easy to find.
