Boost Leaks
i did the boost leak test and found a big leak at the turbo elbow.. after fixing that i noticed about three pinhole leaks on 2 of the rubber boots.. is this enough of a leak to notice a big drop in power? the truck has been lacking power for a while now. i caused the elbow leak but fixed it and still seems low on power.. what you guys think

Factory boots blow up (expand) under pressure. Pin holes can cause substantial leaks.
I would not expect a severe loss in power but only a boost gauge will tell for sure.
