Obviously be careful.

But have someone in the truck hold the brake down as hard as possible, get on the gas let it try to spool up like you are going to launch while you are listening for leaks.

Alternate method : How to: make a slightly more baller boost leak detector - evolutionm.net
Without taking the IC off, you can take the hoses off (the motor side not the ic side) Plug up one side.
On the other side
Rig up something (like pvc cap and some connectors) so you can connect an air hose fitting up to and it take it (start of low 1 psi) up to 40 PSI, This will test all your hoses and IC. IF it holds you are good, if not, you know you got a leak..

Sort of like a radiator pressure tester..
