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?
18" Rotas? 225/45R18? Damn, that's a taller, heavier combo than stock, and is actually lowering the amount of power you put to the ground unless Nate specifically altered the dyno software settings to compensate.

A post-turbo exhaust leak only makes noise, it doesn't affect performance much, unless it's a gigantic leak that actually reduces backpressure.
