Default best way to fix boost leak?

i hav a turboed EP3 with the rev hard kit 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.

I would put the 2 bolts in, it could make a difference. Then with a friend on the gas, pour water on all the IC pipe conections and look for bubbles.

To fix it, if the IC pipe is welded, put some JB weld on it and let it sit for 24hours, if it is conected by the rubber ****, tighten the crap out of them.
