if you use a stethoscope with a tube on the end (automotive stethoscope?) you just pass the end by any junction and along the hoses and if there is a leak you will know as it hisses loudly in your ear.

Just need to narrow it down to the general area then pull off the IC and poke around.
The best way would be to pull off the IC and rig some plumbing/hose from the turbo up pipe over to the throttle body...challenging finding the material to do that.
