No leaks?

How can I tell if my turbo system is leak free? I cant get 10psi, due to my w/g being out of adjustment. I can however get to 5psi and be able to hold it at WOT on the freeway. I want to make sure its good and sealed before I adjust the w/g.

man adjust the wastegate already, you can always turn it back. i have mine maxed out and plugged and my fuel system cant create more than 13psi. if you have cdr going through turbo then you would see oil leaking if it was before going through motor, or have exhaust leak if it was after the motor. just put your hands by the exhaust connections and feel for hot air.
