soapy water always seems to work decently.

check every coupler and clamp, make sure everything is aligned properly, and there are no pinholes.

check the endtank welds on the intercooler.

make a boost leak tester. I use a leakdown tester attached to the end of a PVC cap that I put on the end of my charge piping.

cap off the turbo outlet with coupling to fit turbo outlet and have pcv cover inside the coupling and strap that down then put a hole for a tire inflat thing on cap, spray some water over all couplings and piping with little soap, pressurize the tire inflat with air hose and after boost goes up a bit check and listen for leaks
