The Honda technician that I bought my cold air intake and full exhaust if I had any boost leak when I told him I'm at 165000 miles.

Is there a process or procedure to check vacuum or boost pressure at home?

This is my first turbo car and I'm learning as I go.

This is for a Type R but should be very similar to your car:
