Default Boost leak?

I was wonderin is there a ways to test for a boost leak? Because idk if my boost gauge is off It only reads 4 psi but it sounds like my WGs open up. My friends with S4s just attach a pvc pipe to there turbo inlet and use a compressure to find the leak. Th only probleme with Mine is that I have 2 turbo inlets. is there anything you guys do to find them?

a lot of gauges arent perfect. most are consistent though. do you only have one way of telling your psi...


more details on your setup

You can to do same as your friend with the S4, attach the plug with the compressor to one inlet and plug up the other inlet then pressurise it, if you want a completely sealed system them plug up the exhaust as well but not absolutely needed.
