buy a 2" PVC cap at home depot. it should be 2.5" OD.

buy some valve stems from Kragen, Pep Boys or Autozone (if going to Pep Boys or Autozone, make sure to pick up some ricey lights, wings and mufflers while there)

drill a hole the same size as the skinny part of the valve stem between to two rubber bumps.

add some RTV silicone to make sure its leak free.

hose clamp it onto the compressor inlet or inlet piping (try to clamp it onto something bead rolled, otherwise, it likes to shoot right off, dont ask me how i know) and pressurize until your boost gauge hits whatever max PSI you plan on hitting.

listen for leaks and fix them.

i like to unplug the BOV recirc pipe to see if the BOV is leaking.

a site linked to me by a friend, and well in depth.
i was looking for something like this, since i had no pictures to go by, and i guess i ended buying the wrong thing but now i know what do exactly.

It's probably cheaper to build your own, but if you don't want to mess with it, just buy a plumbing pressure tester at Home Depot.

this is a great tool takes like 15 mins to make... you can use any size cap also, depending on what silicone couplers you have laying around.

You can also put an air pressure reg after the ball valve to set the amount of pressure that is going into the piping.
