Default Boost leak

So I completely gayyed it. I ghetto rigged my turbo and my car drives like crap. I just discovered a crack in my downpipe near the flange. Could this be the main problem? There's no boost and I've checked everything for leaks--seems like there's nothing else leaking. Maybe I missed something? Any ideas? Suggestions? I've a '93 Civic w/b17 and drag turbo kit, running only FMU and missing link (didn't I say I gayyed it?) Thanks in advance for any help.

so you've checked everything and no boost?

could it be possible you've got a bad turbo.. are you using an intercooler? if so, are you sure its holding air w/o any leaks there...

you can kind of feel some boost around 4000 but it seems to stall after that and i had a friend look at the turbo and he said it was still good. i just found out that theres acrack on my down pipe near the turbo can that be the problem. thank for replying
