The only 2 places its leaking is the throttle body shaft and the compressor housing where that snap ring goes

Find out why your WG wasn't staying closed and fix it.
Check your turbo for excessive shaft play.
When you applied 20psi, you stopped applying pressure and it held for 30 seconds and then popped? Or did you hold 20psi from a compressor with the regulator set to 20psi and it popped after 30 seconds? You need to apply 20psi and then stop. Then you see how fast the boost gauge pressure drops from 20psi. My car drops 1psi every 4-5 seconds from 20psi initial pressure. If you leak down too fast, fix the leaks. VFAQ has the how-to for fixing TB shaft seals. If your compressor o-ring is leaking badly, I don't know if you have to fully rebuild it or just replace the o-ring (ask someone or search).
Do you have a logger? If so, anything look weird (knock, low O2v, etc)? If not, they're cheap for you lucky 1g owners.
