i dont think u could blow it from boost just cuz it's before the turbo, but who knows. and yea u'd hear it it sounds like a fart, but thats with any exhaust leak and with a turbo there are a few diff parts that can leak.

Yea make sure you got good welds or the NOS that you have enough to blow your self up will also blow the intake mani

if the exhaust manifold gasket "blew" then something is pretty wrong like improper installation of turbo manifold or manifold is warped. check for signs of soot/carbon deposits from potential leak area.

You have to remember, there is boost before the turbo as well...not just after. Just check all your bolts, id bet one came loose. Happens a lot with street turbo aps. esp. if cheap bolts and nutz were used.
