Default cars leaking boost, how do i find out where??

went to get my car dyno'd and they told me my car is only running at 0.4bar instead of around 0.8bar. does anybody know where/how i can locate the leak!
im guessing and hoping its my baileys dumpvalve that is the cause so i am getting a forge dump valve instead..
cheers

What makes you think its leaking boost, its more likley its not making the boost in the first place, if its leaking boost to atmosphere you would hear it!

Have you played with the vacuum piping on the turbo or via the boost control solenoid to the air intake pipe at all?
