Homemade leak detector

I'm going to make the homemade leak detector to troubleshoot a low boost issue I'm having. I've seen the picture of the detector. What size are the components? Once I get it together, where do I hook it up on the engine? I've done a search but didn't get the results I was looking for.

Good pic. I would put a gauge and a valve on top of the gauge so you can turn the air off and still see the PSI. Good build.
