How to test boost pressure

Evening all.

As the title suggests, I need to check my boost pressure on the truck. Producing 69.9bhp is quite frankly bollocks from an engine that's not even done 81k kilometers and meant to be pushing out atleast 130bhp.

So, what is the easiest way to check the pressure? I'm an N/A guy, turbos are devil work.
