Default Turbo boost gauges and boost leak detection

This is probably a dumb question, but here it goes. I just had a boost gauge installed on my A6. Since this is a first, I do not really know what to expect. What are the observable symptoms when you have a boost leak? The boost just does not increase? Does not increase all the way? Drops half-way? Something more subtle? All of the above?

Thanks for your help!

I'm aware of this part, but what I was looking for was a "How to detect boost leaks using a boost gauge," or at least some guidelines. Thanks.
