Default quick question on boost leak test

I hit the dyno and my power seemed low and my iat's were in the 130's so I did a boost leak test and had 4 or 5 leaks, any way got them all fixed but had a small leak at the nipple on the turbo going to the wg. Just wondering if its worth trying to fix that or would it not matter being that its on the intake side.

A leak in the WG line, or the fittings that the line ataches to, is exactly what a simple boost controler is. bigger leak = more boost.
