Pressure tested at turbos, all air seems to be leaking from air box?

I was told this could be check valve? Any experience on this?

The link you sent says to pressure test at the compressor at both turbos (block one, put air in other) and does not mention blocking off intake..

Probably the check valve - trace it back - may need to take your air filter box out to get better access. There are a lot of lines in that area near the intake.
