Default Where are people find the most common vac leaks?

So I have a procharged auto 1996 car, and just installed a boost gauge the other week and I'm only making about 10mmHg which I'm sure isn't quite enough... I've tried looking for it, I tried carb cleaner and didn't find any idle changes. Where should I like and who has any other methods of testing, I know I could smoke test it but I don't think I cant rent a smoke tester anywhere but haven't asked advance yet :P

Vacuum T under passenger side injector cover. Vacuum hoses near master cylinder. Forced induction will increase possibilities.

Not sure, car isn't on the road and its still winter here could it be a leaky servo? I know the line that goes into the T from the loom is attached, actually just replaced that line in case it had a tear in it
