Default Air leak

Hi my car has been holding back in first and some times second gear and only
boosting to .9 BAR in first but second only holds back some times and the rest of their gears i get 1.4 bar. i got new coil packs , new NGK 7 with a 6 gap, new z32 maf and the lamda is not running on the power fc.
I have been told that their might be an air leak on the system what would be
the best way to check that any ideas will be very appreciated ?

if there is a load on the boost pipes etc some where, get some soadp water, rev the engine so it starts to make some boost (around 3-5 k) and if there is a leak, the soapy water will make bubbles.
