Well mine worked very well. there was such a huge leak under the manifold (as I suspected) that i could hear it very loudly. My 2hp compressor couldnt even keep up to keep the system pressurized. Just confirming what I already knew, but .. now I REALLY know.
How can you eliminate the crank case from a pressure test?

I concur with Kday. With this test, you are pressuring up the valve cover area and also the crankcase, both of which are not designed to see much over atmospheric pressure. If your seals and gaskets are already marginal, this could cause them to blow out and/or leak. At a minimum, I would block the ventilation lines that connect at the turbo inlets, so you are not back pressuring the crankcase ventilation loop.
