Here is what a boost leak tester can look like. (Mach V Motorsports leak tester)

Steps.
1. Remove the air inlet hose off the turbo inlet (there's a clamp holding on the inlet hose; remove that)

2. Attach your leak tester to the air inlet
3a. Pressurize the system
3b. Since you just have the stock BOV, i dont believe you have to turn the key to the "on" position, but if you do hear excessive leaking from there while the system in under pressure, then turn the key to "on"
4. Once you hit 20-22 psi ( which is a good number under your circumstances btw) If you don't hear any leaking air, you prob ok, but if you want to be 100% certain, take some soap water and spray it on the "hot spots" ie. the turbo outlet, cold side pipe, etc. I'm sure you know the rest.
5. Tighten clamps where leaks exist.
6. Re attach the air inlet hose
7. Your done.....easy as cake :thumbsup:
