Pressure test new brake system? Air or CO2?

Anybody ever try it?

Pedal would have to be held down against the pressure. A CO2 tank would make more, even hooked in without the regulator. 350 psi, I think...

Then, spray soapy water on all fittings, look for soap bubbles. Soap residue, but no brake fluid dribbles...
