I plan on making a boost leak tester. My question is if I hook it to the inlet of my Supercharger then block the piping off right before the throttle body is this good enough?

If not how do you test the TB gasket and intake gaskets? If you didn't block it off at the tb and opened it up wouldn't air just escape through an open exhaust valve? But I guess a intake and exhaust valve couldn't be open at the same time? Wouldn't some escape past the rings? Just a little confused.
