best way to find boost leak?
 

i hav a turboed EP3 and i was running 5 psi for a few weeks(its supposed t obe at 7). so i assume there is a leak. and then a few days ago i repositioned my boost gauge and had to add 5 feet of hose. and i was running an open downpipe, so at the same time as i did the boost gauge repostioning i hooked mt exhaust back up. and now i have barly 4 psi when its supposed to be at 7. my exhaust manifold is missing 2 bolts but i dont see that that would have anything to do with it. any ideas of fixing it? i hav an air compressor if that helps.

Check your hoses to see if there is any cracks in them. i had the same problem.

yah ive checked all them, but i didn;t see anything

i found a pvc cap the same size as my turbo inlet and used a coupler to clamp it to the inlet. tapped it with pipe thread and threaded in an air hose fitting so i could pressurize it with shop air on a regulator.
