6.5hp leaf blower for testing leaks

How can I hookup my my ridgid shop vac leaf blower. I want to hook it up so air enters from outside and pumps pressure into bambi. Then I will need to purchase one hand pumps put some soap and water in there and do inspection.

You may not need that much horsepower. The quality of the test will be effected by how well you seal the around where you intend to pump the air into the unit. You may be better able to seal a port going in through one of the exterior compartment doors that an opening as large opening, as the entry door.
