Pressurize the intake system with a shop air compressor regulated down to 5-10 psi. If you have a boost leak it will be pretty easy to find as you follow the intake track around.

PVC and rubber boot adapters from Home Depot allow you to go from an air compressor fitting up to the 3" y-pipe entrance.

Alternatively, just look over your rubber boots really well and check the inter-cooler flanges (this is where mine started to leak as the crimp came loose).
