Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Sperry's exhaust leak and melted timing cover from the RFR Trials event

There is no way your boost would be limited by any sort of leak post-turbo. People take off their exhausts to gain better performance at the track (on a turbo car). Like I said, it either has to be a manifold problem or wastegate problem... or just a buggy-eye problem.

Check your wastegate - it could be malfunctioning and opening early. You could also check your boost controller itself - that could be off.

I've had my turbo/manifold gasket become vapor (it boke apart and nothing was left) before without having it effect my boost.
