boost leak??

when I get on the throttle pretty hard, I hear a hiss(which some members said is completely normal) but now it has transitioned to sounding almost like a rattle snake and my boost gauge fluctuates about 5 lbs either as the boost is building. I've seen people on here talk about building boost leak detectors, does anybody have a link or pictures or something so I know what to build? Or any suggestions of anything else to check??
