Do you think the exhaust leak has any effect on the performance? Since I am reaching full boost, Does that mean I am getting the most HP? Nate said that you could take the DP off and still get full boost. If you took the DP off(no exhaust), How would that effect HP?
Exhaust leaks *after* the turbo should not affect anything significantly. Taking the downpipe off would require retuning in addition to earplugs and a gas mask.
