Unless it's leaking oil all over the place, or making awful noises, the turbo is probably fine.
I'm guessing post-turbo intake leak because that would explain the propencity for the car to die at idle, and the boost leak. 9psi sounds a little high for the wastegate control to be out (normally if the solenoid's busted or leaking, you get about 7psi), but that too could be an issue.
If it was an exhaust leak causing you to lose that much boost, you'd easily be able to hear it.
You could always come out to the meet on Thursday and we can poke around under the hood. Make sure you bring a flashlight or two though... it gets dark fucking early!
