Default Would a 1/2 inch hold in the intake manifold cause all loss of boost?

Or for example a brake booster hose, or some hose slightly bigger than that?

With all those turbo cars under your belt you'd think you'd know....most likey your car would idle around 3-4K rpm, and boost would come in late or not at all.

You got me their , but this one just is pissing me off, but this is not for a honda. I figured it out and fixed it hoping it will work (by the way thats just three, of many more to come).

yep it was the idler hose, the big one that is in the back of the intake manifold. I rerouted it to the ic piping, it idles a lot better but i have not had a chance to test it out yet.

I had a hole the size of a quarter in my charge pipe, I was making 1-2 psi by redline anyway.

I think it might vary a bit based on setup, but you are definitely losing most to all of your power.
