depends where its leaking from...

before the turbine = extensive lag, decrease in power, and weird noises

after the turbine = just weird noises

mine is leaking from the bottom of the manifold since I broke one of the studs off. I will be fixing it soon.

What is this leak feeling like when you drive and boost it?

response is laggy and it sounds like your running and open dp but it's not quit as loud.

The bolt I broke is the lower one on the passenger side on the manifold.

well the one that broke is a stud, I put a locking nut on it by mistake. So when I went to take it off I broke off the stud itself. Once I take the manifold off I will be able to get the stud out.

I have 2 leaks, the same one as you described above and another on my downpipe. Lags a bit, but I've had those leaks for a while and am busy to extract a broken stud
