boost leak

hey guys just bought my fd saturday and realized it has a pretty decent boost leak. when the boost gauge is tacked at 0 vac it bleeds air quick and has a whistling noise. under wot it spikes and drops to 4 psi. are these notorious for leaking in a cirtain spot? anyone have any idea where i should start looking ? thanks, corey

check all your couplers and vac hoses. spray soapy water and if its leaking it will bubble
