i have a couple questions though. the little contraption that i make i attach to the turbo inlet? or to the hose on the turbo inlet? and if i use an air compressor is that too much pressure to be putting in it? i have no aftermarket parts, just a 1g bov with flange for my 95 eclipse turbo.

I would get a valve to adjust pressure on your compressor. You don't want to put 120psi to that thing. But, yeah, pull intake off turbo, clamp the tester on and put some air to it.

If you have any leaks, you'll be pumping like crazy and not have enough pressure to be able to hear where they are. Get or borrow a gauge. Here. Found you one. $30 with the cup... http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=303989

how do those boost guages work? they can only tell you the boost right? they cant regulate it. so unless i have some sort of regulator on the air tank how could a boost guage help

You would make another hole in your boost tester to mount the gauge. Then you can pressurize (depending on your set-up. I usually pressurize to 20 or 25lbs and watch for leakdown) and watch the gauge to see if you start losing pressure.
