Default Turbo leak

Would any little size hole or leak in the turbo intercooler piping cause a big power loss or a lag?.. Would a hole the size if a needle make a big differene?...thanx

A "little" hole in the charge piping will cause a boost leak...you may still build-up pressure, but you wont reach full boost.

Idk about a 'needle-sized' hole, but im sure it would make somewhat of a difference.

like it was said... any holes will cause a leak, and you wont build boost as well... and it may not reach full boost...

if its small enough, it shouldnt affect it that much..

but if its big, it will feel laggy, because you wont get to full boost
